Hi. Should there be two quick connectors underneath the tank between diff ? My car does not have any connector until fuel filter connector at pressure pipe and somewhere down further on return line. Instead of connectors I do have a rubber or just flexible hoses doing half a loop and becomes back to a steel pipes.
There should be a plumbing map in one of the X308 manuals like on the X300 on page 60 of the X300 Jaguar 801s PDF , maybe the same less the engine section ?
Ah. According to the workshop manual hoses are like they should be. Connectors are those what can not be seen. Pipes goes in to the "tank" what has connectors. No wonder there is no other connectors.
The special tool is used to release the 'stuffer-pin' metal retainer 'fingers' so the lines can be pulled down/disconnected.
DO NOT pull the tank into the boot area with the lines connected.
We will all laugh when the NLA lines are bent/damaged.
You will be looking for USED lines when the damaged ones leak.
Too many sob stories of people trying to 'shortcut' the repair and crying about the leaking lines!
The other method people use is to cut a hole in the parcel shelf to replace fuel pumps.
good luck.
The OWNER of the car can use this method.
If I tried that on a customer car, I would expect to be sued and lose tons of money trying to justify 'altering' the structure of the car.
A judge in a courtroom would NOT side with me I can assure you!
Although cutting the parcel shelf seems sacrilege, it is the most straightforward method.
I'm not sure why it would be considered sacrilege. Jaguar themselves cut holes for those models that had rear speakers and those models which had the premium sound system that include subwoofers with their rear speakers.
What I don't understand is why Jaguar didn't locate the fuel pumps directly below the speaker holes so they could be accessed/replaced simply by removing and then reinstalling the speakers without having to cut new holes or disconnecting and removing the tank to accomplish the same task.
