Can a 19 gallon fuel tank fit 1998 jeep wrangler?

A 19-gallon fuel tank is larger than the standard fuel tank for a 1998 Jeep Wrangler. The 1998 Wrangler typically came with a 15-gallon tank (though some options might have offered slightly larger ones). Therefore, a 19-gallon tank would likely *not* be a direct bolt-in replacement. You'd need to consider:

* Modifications: A 19-gallon tank would require significant modifications to the fuel system and likely the underbody of the Jeep to fit. This would necessitate professional installation.

* Fuel lines: You'd need longer fuel lines.

* Straps and mounting: Existing straps and mounting points likely won't be sufficient.

* Possible clearance issues: The larger tank might interfere with other components in the Jeep's undercarriage.

In short, while it's *possible* to fit a 19-gallon tank, it's not a simple swap. It requires considerable modification and expertise.
