Boy glad my 1976 xj6, and 1987 n 1988 V12 have the fuel pump in the boot.

[@mediaguy4037]

At least you know it's brand new now, and you won't have to worry about it going bad randomly one day.

[@XJJesse]

You're right! Gotta look at the bright side of things 😎

[@fergardu1]

Im going to check the gas line with a new Relay tomorrow, hope this solve the issue thanks a lot Jesse.

[@richardgreene3460]

Valuable video! Clear, easy to understand, & perfect content! Can't improve on this one...in my permanent X300 folder!

[@XJJesse]

I appreciate that Richard! Glad you found my video helpful! Hope you're having a great week!😎🖤

This was an excellent video. I am 100% against cutting holes in classic cars, but you can't reverse the stupid engineering of the Jaguar fuel pump system. The pumps fail early, and after 20 years in the rust belt, I was unable to disconnect the fuel lines from my 2003 tank despite the best of intentions and time. I suggest the Dremel method of cutting to make a more sanitary access panel which likely will be needed again in this cars life. I am also going to tape a sign to the tank, so the next owner will know the panel is there and won't struggle trying to disconnect the fuel lines like I did.

[@edgargranados8524]

I just changed my pump last month. Very hard job lol

[@XJJesse]

I do plan on replacing the fuel pump on my XJR and recording a proper "how to video" by removing the fuel tank. If you have any advice let me know! 😬

[@edgargranados8524]

@@XJJesse I also took the alternate route! The real job requires you to unplug the tank from under the car witch is very hard. And the pull it out. I just pulled it out enough to fit my hand in and Changed it. Very risky! But it worked 😂

[@edgargranados8524]

I’m happy I didn’t break the fuel lines!

[@alexandrecouture2462]

@@XJJesse I removed the fuel tank on my XJ40. It is very, very, very hard to remove the 2 hose fitting from under the car, right on top of the diff. When this car was built, they clearly didn't had in mind that the fuel tank might have to be removed one day. The method in this video is the best way!

[@lalfieruster6044]

Good job my friend. Thanks for that.

[@darralpphillips]

I always learn something from you Jessie. From Australia 🇦🇺

[@keithwyatt2509]

Thanks Jesse for the information . I was thinking about replacing my fuel filter on my 2002 xj sport. Keep the videos coming they are a great help .

[@XJJesse]

Thanks Keith! I'll be replace the fuel filter on my mothers Jaguar soon and it should be very simpler to your Jaguar. Stay tune! 😁

[@williammobley3426]

Thanks for the well thought out video with visuals that were useful..

[@alexandrecouture2462]

Great work! At least now you know that your mom's car has a reliable fuel pump.

[@XJJesse]

Thanks Alexandre! That's very true! 😊

[@andrewmaresca8781]

Thanks Jesse

[@rocstar1618]

My x308 vanden plas, it took me hours to disconnect the fuel lines on the tank from underneath the car and only 15 minutes to replace the pump lol. I couldn’t cut up my rear deck like that, but there was times that I wanted to give up and cut it up lol

[@fergardu1]

Hello Jesse I have a Jaguar XJ8 today found out wher the pump is located, after watching many videos, boy I steel have a question, is it the same procedure on a Jaguar XJ8? Thanks a lot for your information, and before i continue i saw that the fuse that your Moms has its 30 amps and i guess mine is 30 amps

[@djonfonsteen6331]

Nice one. Sweet job. I'm not looking forward to this. Only 99 octane for me and my fingers are crossed.

[@XJJesse]

You should be fine these Jaguars come with a Denso fuel pump they are very reliable & durable.

[@samuelbennett4305]

Thanks for the great video. Can I ask for some more help please? I followed it and I think the pump works. Before I changed the pump the engine would crank but wouldn't turn over. Now it won't even crank. What should I do?

[@luisbautista2707]

C00L Man, 👍✌️

[@bunulcosmin8279]

Hi Jesse, how to trouble shoot and find out why my 1992 xj40 4L not receiving power , the relay activates when key is in position 2

[@fergardu1]

Also i saw in mine has the option for two relays more, which mine doesnt have them

[@APH1One1]

Hey I have a question I have fuel going to the rail but still no start I have changed both fuses any other ideas haven’t changed fuel pump yet

[@MrMisael7]

Is this fuel pump compatible with the 95 xjr model? I know there’s two of them

[@CaptainAwesome-mz6mt]

Hey man, have you got any links to any good fuel pump relays? so that I can buy a couple for my x300? cheers

[@henrypriego5948]

Where can I find a fuel pump relay? For my Jaguar 96 vanden plas

[@budford88]

I have the EXACT problem right now with my 95 XJ6. How often does the relay go bad? I’m sure hoping I don’t need to replace the fuel pump

[@adamra6851]

Hi I wonder if I might ask you a question, what in your opinion would cause bad clunking from the front on a X300? Kind regards

[@bobes.6970]

I experienced the same thing. Bushings on my shocks needed replacing. I just replaced the who thing

[@blondee_xx3049]

Xj jesse, Love your content but to cut into the rear shelf like that is questionable and I think deep inside you know it . Sorry for the comment

[@deandomino9657]

Hi there Jesse. I know you’re very busy at the moment working on redoing all of your old videos. There’s a lot to go through! I was just wondering if you were able to work on a couple in particular, if you aren’t doing them in any specific order? I know it’s not my place to ask, so I do apologise. I’m a big fan of yours, and I had a few videos saved so I could use them for the future maintenance work I have planned on my XJR. I would definitely give a small donation to you as a sign of appreciation if you can haha

[@XJJesse]

Hey no worries just let me know what videos you’re looking for and I’ll start working on the as soon as possible

[@deandomino9657]

@@XJJesse fantastic! Well, the ones I was thinking of were the one on installing that oil catch can kit on your XJR. How did that all go in the end as well? Have you emptied the can out at some point? I think I remember you saying you’d do an update on it when you did, but you’ve got a lot on your plate, so I know you probably haven’t had the time. Anyway, I was going to renew the drive belts as well. Handily, on your Andy bracket video, you showed us how to remove the drive belt and the two idler pulleys for the supercharger, which is what I’m going to renew as well. And the other video dedicated to showing how to do the alternator and AC belt. I think that was on your sisters X300, but I suppose the method is the exact same on the XJR. Lastly, I’m going to renew the switch pack on the drivers side door, so the video on how to properly remove the door card would be cool. I don’t think there was a video specifically dedicated to doing this, but there was one on changing the door handle cable, which is like 90% of the steps required, so that would be good enough for me! Thanks a lot, Jesse. Really sorry to put this on you. No worries if you can’t do it. Many thanks

[@XJJesse]

@@deandomino9657 Alright, I can have all those videos up in a week! 😁
