Hi Gary,
I guess they could have replace your fill hose with the fifteen
gallon one like: http://www.gottrail.com/TJ/TJfueltankconversion.html
But, your sending unit is probably reading low, like you still have five
gallons in your tank when your gauge reads empty. I surely wouldn't
prove it by running it dry and cooking your fuel pump, though.

I will go back and have them check that they put the right one in.
Hopefully they'll be "nice" about it since I only have 30,000 miles on my 97
TJ.
