Hi guys (and gals). I am having trouble starting my 82cj7 after a year of storage while away. I cleaned the carb, replaced fuel filter and pump, cleaned hoses with air, but no fuel in the carb still. Only starts with starter fluid. Thinking I need to drop the tank and check the fuel lines next. I have to replace the sensor anyway. Any good videos on how to do this? If not any tips before I start. Thx
 

Welcome to Jeepz. First, disconnect thge filler hose and vent hose from the filler neck, disconnect the fuel line from the tank. Place a floor jack on the center of the fuel tank, remove the bolts located in front and rear of the fuel tank then lower the tank slowly until you can physically remove the fuel vapor lines on top of the tank.
 
Ok thx. Sounds straight forward. Always does I guess :) Any experience with fuel lines? Do you think I should replace while in there? If so both return and line to engine? I am going to order a new sending unit and replace that for sure.
