How to remove gas tank from 1990 jaguar xj40 - 1990 Jaguar XJ6

either side in front of vehicle botton of front door pillar ,has a cover over it with a slot in the head of the fixing ,cannot remember which fuse though ,but it should be a 25 amp one ,their is also fuses in the centre console ,well their is on mine but mines a 94 XJ40 ,Handy place is the jaguar XJ40 /300 models on facebook ,iam on that as well .

the common prob with old xj40 with odd readings on insrument pack is bad connection inside the pack itself with good eyesight carefull dismantling and a soldering iron it can be fixed

it should be bolted to the rear suspension A frame.if not it is in the tank you will have to remove the tank

Remove the interior trunk liners, the tank is located behind the back particle board, behind where your spare is mounted and battery. Take all of that out. There are two black tank straps that hold the tank in position. Remove bolts to lossen. Take care around where the filler neck attaches to the body (left rear next to trunk). You will have to disconnect serveral harnesses also to "work" it back and forth and ultimately slide it out. As a former master jaguar tech, I will say this; if you are not trained, I suggest you let a professional do this job for you. Gas tanks are no joke.

Whatever you decide, good luck.

Note if you remove the fuel tank sending units, be sure to use a brass punch while loosing the rings. If you don't, the tank can explode or at least catch fire.

there are complete CD's on ebay with everything you need for less than $15.00......

Hi,
The fuel filter is located under the car, in front and in a little, from the L/H rear wheel.

Undo the 2 nut connections, and fixing clamp, and its off.

Remember no smoking !

Good luck !

A FixYa rating would be nice... Thanks !

Should be a metric torex.

Could be the crank sensor or the distributor cap and rotor.

If the pedal is rock hard with the engine running it is most likely the accumulator and the click noise is coming from the relay under the dash driver side is most likely the main Yellow relay
