Stock canister only needs to store 15-18lbs of vacuum.
Can withstand alot more, but the 4.0L doesn't get much higher than 20lbs
The Keg Can...will collapse as it was designed for pressure...not vacuum.

Without your vacuum canister your vacuum front axle disconnect will not work and your heater controls will not work.Yeah, another wonderful thing I learned about the XJ the hard way.

If you are really into fabbing, you could reinforce the sides of the can (if you are 100% insistent on having it set up just so.). Or, I could go pick one up for you from the JY on sunday. I'm picking up some parts (you pay for part, S&H, and $5 overhead).

I got a non-disco... I get great mileage as long as the damn OBD-II system and all it's*#*$& sensors for engine management are working good.
Although I passed emissions last week.....

Rock on Bowtie Guy!!! You dodged the emmissions bullet one more time. When and if you get ready to shoehorn a big block chevy rat motor into your Jeep, give me a call. I want a piece of that action.
