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.

SOURCE: how to remove fuel pump from tank s type jag 2002

Fuel pump is accessed through a hole below the back seat. Remove the seat and there is a rubber round cover over each fuel pump. Fuel pumps are held in place with a large round retaining ring that is screwed off.

SOURCE: changing rear shocks on a 1990 jag

No. But if can't get it on a lift or high enough to work under comfortably..it will be very awkward. The calipers get in the way when you are removing the springs and shocks as a unit. You can move the part and get it out and down, but you will need to remove the rear wheels and let the rear springs hang down.
Make sure you have a good spring compressor to get the old springs off....in most cases it is the springs that go soft and not the shocks...
Don't assume that it is the shocks unless you know for sure they are bad.

SOURCE: 87 jag xj6. Brake pedal spongy goes all the way

If the brake lines and fluid is clear then you may have to look at the brake booster found at the other end of the brake pedal under the hood...

Have a 87 jag xj6 vp and it's been sitting for about a yr and gas is bad how do I drain gas from gas tank? thanks

Unless there is a drain plug for the tank, my guess would be to use a syphon pump like you would use for a boat.

I would like to know if you could help me change out an alternator/ well actuelly tell me the best way to do so.Also the car does have all a/c parts still installed ? thanks for all help ! Oh and the car...

You can buy a service manual on ebay for less than the price of a tank of gas. Also you can go search on www.youtube.com there is no doubt a jag mechanic who makes videos of these routine procedures.

Removal of the petrol tank

The 93 xj6 tank is in the trunk behind the spare tire and battery, While there are two straps holding it, they will not be rusty because they are inside the trunk. After disconnecting everything in the trunk, jack up the car (use jack stands) crawl under and disconnect the two clips holding the fuel lines to the tank. There are two holes in the trunk under the tank that let the lines through.
Now the tank will pull right out.

Changing a fuel pump on a 1984 xj6

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

Jaguar xj6 1991 2.9 manual

2 things, first of all teh distributor cap and rotor go bad causing the car to have spark but not fire, secondly you need to make sure that you are getting fuel to the engine bay, if not then it could be the fuel pump.

In regard to the other gentlemans question, starts but cuts out I would start with the same process and open your fuel flap and make sure there is no water around the filler area as it sounds like you could also have water in your gas. (there is a drain next to the filler neck and it gets clogged over time, then when it rains or you wash your wash, that area fills with water and seeps into the tank)
