Water pooling in the Gas cap compartment. Is
Yes.
It's probably gummed up. That happens sometimes, especially if the car has been sitting and the rubber adheres to itself around the hole.
Soak up the water with paper towels, get a strong light and look for the drain hole.
Sometimes you can just work it open with your finger.
I hope this helps.

When i turn the key to start my car, nothing
Take a look at the main battery cables and check the terminal....Clean them and then put some white petroleum jelly....Vasaline, if you have it where you are....but NOT grease....Grease contains acid and will promote oxidization on the terminals....Put just a little petroleum jelly and it'll keep the towers clean....

How to replace trunk stabilus
Hi,
you need to remove the mounts which hold the gas strut to the trunk.
Once these are off you can then press/or pull the small black clip out to remove it from the strut.
But when you buy the new struts for the trunk they should come with the new mounts.
Hope this helps, let me know if you need more information.
Thanks

Sometime my car is very hard to start when it do
This souds like you have a problematic fuel pump. When they begin to fail you can see problems just like this one. Make sure you also replace the fuel filter. If it is plugged, it can destroy a fuel pump. The filter is located on the passenger side in the trunk and the pump, you should have access from inside the trunk area. Let me know if you need anything else. Really nice cars!
Fuel problem with my XJ6
The gas cap is mostly used to maintain the pressure inside of the gas tank, and to keep the fuel pump from working itself to death. Sounds to me like your killed your fuel pump. Get the new gas cap, and have someone test your fuel pressure. I am pretty sure there won't be much, so replace your fuel pump if this is the case. I’m happy to help further over the phone at

Smell of petrol inside the car
I had a similar problem with a 92 when I replaced the float/level sensor in the tank. Did you recently change the pump or sensor?
Check the tightness of anything you may have loosened or opened. There is also a line that usually drains water from the depression in which the filler cap sits. If you have a bad cap and even a minor overflow or spill from a fill-up, gas could leak into the trunk and once absorbed into the carpeting it is very difficult to remove the smell from the matting. I power washed mine with solvents and water based detergents, three times and let them air dry each time, finally placing an odor absorbing chemical in the trunk to solve the problem. Good luck hope this helps.
