Default Need help already...

Thank you for the welcome. Also, I’m already needing help. I have a leak on the fuel regulator located at the center of my fuel line that sits in the top side (driver’s) of the engine. Pictures attached. Might anyone know what it’s called and where to get it. Dealer was trying to sell me just the hose with no regulator. I’ve researched for hours and can’t find it. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum jekka999,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Western Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Looks like you found the trick with the next post. It also looks like the damper mounting is breaking up - a regular issue.

Default Thank you and question...

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Graham, I’ve updated my signature with your help. Also, I didn’t know how to add an arrow or circle around the part I needed. It’s not actually the dampner the arrow is pointing to (but thank you for the info so I know what to buy to replace that). The fuel leak is coming from the chrome circle piece right above the center of the arrow body. I can’t seem to locate one or even find the correct name for it. Any help would be appreciated.

I thought you were referring to the regulator (circled in yellow) but I noticed the residue where the damper mounting could be starting to break up when I saw your photo.




To add arrows etc to photos for posting on the forum, I use Windows Paint and add the required shape.

I was referring to the “regulator”. Thank you for putting a name to both that and the damper. Might you know where I can find a regulator? I’ve tried both the dealer (who wanted to sell me just the fuel line hose without regulator and a parts dealer recommended by this forum. Still no luck. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Also, thank for marking up picture information, just did it!

Try forum Sponsor S N G Barratt. If it's available from them, they offer forum member 10% discount on most parts.
