Fuck, it's easier pulling intelligence from a blonde. Just how the f*ck are u supposed to pull these f'n things out? I've got the manual, I've got a start but I might as well be reading the Koran in Sanskrit via Flemish for all the sense it makes.

Bad laguage won't help!!
The bolts are between the tank and the "INSIDE" of the car. From memory, a couple are in the boot and there are one or two that were very hard to get at. I think one was underneath at the back near the bumper and the other underneath up the front, close to the exhaust.
If you still can't find them, sell the car, buy a Crapadore and change you nickname to holdendriver :-)
If removing fuel tanks gets you going, I can't wait until you need to change your timing chains.
Okay, pay attention, here you go.
Drain both tanks.
Remove both rear light assemblies.
Remove both rear quarter bumpers.
Remove both rear wing closing panels.
Remove both side trim panels from inside the boot ( trunk).
If you have internal fuel pumps, remove the rear road wheels.
Remove the fuel pump cover plate from the rear of the wheel well.
Disconnect the fuel feed line.
If you have external fuel pumps.
Disconnect the fuel feed lines.
Remove the fuel gauge sender unit locking ring, this is accessible through the rear light aperture.
Remove the fuel tank filler cap assembly and tank filler neck.
Prop the fuel tank with timber.
Remove the 2 fuel tank mounting bolts from inside the boot.
Drop the fuel tank.
Fill tank with cold water and soap solution for storage.
Remember, patience is a virtue, Jaguar's were built to test your virtuosity.
Cheers, Lee.
What with the missus bugging out with the dog and losing my job on the same day, testing my patience with a jag is second nature.

Undo the four screws and lift it from the top.
How do you pull the fuel tank filler cap assembly and tank filler neck? This is what I'm really having trouble with. I've got everything else off BUT this. Any help would sure be appreciated.
Thanks, Whiskers
Open the cap and remove the 4 screws that retain the filler neck. The neck extends into the tank and is sealed by a gasket and O-ring, once the screws are removed a good heave will remove the filler neck. from the tank.
If everything else is removed, the tank will not become totally subject to gravity, mind your feet.....
Hope this helps.

That worked, Thanks so very much. I was getting a bit frustrated.
What ? Getting frustrated with a Jaguar ? Who ever heard of that then ?
Whiskers,
I need to replace my fuel pump. I have a 92 XJ6 with an in-tank pump.
Did you take out the entire fuel tank? If so, how much trouble was it?
Thanks.

Yes, the tank must come out. The hardest part is removing all of the hoses. I also recommend that you purchase a pump kit; it contains the tank flange, rf filter module, filter sock, pump "can", and the pump. I have seen many people replace their pumps to have the "can" leak (suck air) when the tank reaches 1/3 empty. That means that they had to do the job all over again.
Cheers,
Blake
Hey Blake,
By what stroke of ingenuity did Jaguar decide to replace the external pump which I have with an inside-the-tank one? Was there a problem to be solved by this modification?
Is there a particular year, or model, or world location in which this was done for some reason?
