Originally I used IdahoDoug's fuel sock thread to learn about this process but have since been unable to locate the thread again. After conferring with him I have decided to add my version of this fix from a slightly less mechanically inclined mudder's point of view.
IdahoDoug, I invite you (or anyone else for that matter) to add suggestions or pictures if I have left out anything.
Parts to order prior to starting this project (91-92 Models):
Filter, Suction (fuel sock) P/N 23217-11010
Clip, Fuel Pump (used to attach sock to pump) P/N 23219-03010
Gasket, Fuel Suction P/N 77169-60010
These parts are around 19.00 plus shipping from CDan but as he stated it might not be worth the savings after cost of shipping so I went with my local dealer and spent 21.00.

- The first step in this process is disconnect the negative battery terminal then release the pressure in the fuel system by removing/loosening the gas cap.
- Locate the fuel pump door on top of the fuel tank. Important: you do not have to remove the tank to complete this swap! The fuel pump access door is directly under the second row of seats. Since I had my interior removed for another project already it was easy to locate. If you still have your interior intact it is still easy to access. Simply, remove the second row seats, the kick plates in teh back doors and the door trim. Now locate the seam between the cargo carpet piece and your 2nd row passenger piece. Under the seam there are retainer clips which you will need to unscrew to fold the cargo carpet backwards some. Also fold the second row carpet back the opposite way to reveal the oval shaped fuel pump door.
