Changing rear shocks on a 1990 jag

Remove as much fuel from tank using a syphon or plastic pump.
Remove tank from car, Tip it upside down to drain remaining fuel.
DO NOT WELD the tank if it is leaking or the remaining fuel fumes will explode.

The fuel pump is usually located in/on the fuel tank, but with your jag, it is mounted externally from the tank. Frame mounted design with an inlet and outlet fitting...

Jack up the rear left hand side. Put the car on axle stands. Remove the left hand rear wheel.

You should be able to follow fuel line back to the fuel filter (just forward of the wheel arch) and then to the fuel pump which is behind wheel arch, (before the rear silencer/muffler).

One thing though, you might just have a faulty fuel pump relay, which on your 1990 can be found in the engine bay, left side, attached to the brake pedal hanger.

If you do decide to remove the fuel pump after all, then depressurize the fuel system first.

Remove fuel filler cap, disconnect the fuel pump relay, start engine and wait for it to stall. Turn off ignition, then disconnect battery.

Take all the usual precautions before disconnecting fuel lines, rags, container to catch spilt fuel etc.

Hope that helps, please rate me too thanks!

Hello: They are not always in the tank. At the left rear wheel, mounted above the inner frame, you can see it when the rear right wheel is removed and the car is jacked up. It may be easier to see it if you follow from the fuel filter which would be on the frame and just about under where your feet would be if you were sitting behind the driver.

Had a similar problem within the last year. Either your fuel pump is failing or your fuel filter is partially blocked. Change both and drive away.

hi remove top nuts and washers,once road wheel removed jack car up shock absorber will drop down from inner wing remove lower bolt and nut,move shock absorber up then slide out through the bottom past the lower wishbone,hope this helps(did it this way on mine)

under the car near rear end, fuel pump is inside the fuel tank

My 1994 Vanden Plas makes the same noise. I know I need rear shocks. You do also!! Have the rear shocks replaced. Bilstein part number B46 1858 or Koni part  number 30 1377. Actually the Bilstein is the better shock and less expensive.

there is only one fuel pump on that model. I'm in the middle of putting an lt1 in my 84 jag. The pump is towards the rear of the spare tier or closest to you when you open the trunk. There is also a small switching unit located next to it with lines running to either tank. This is what controls which tank the fuel is being pumped from
