Hello! I’ve recently purchased and got running a 1984 Jaguar XJ6. It’s the American model with the 4.2L inline 6 cylinder engine, 3 speed transmission.

The car sat for some time and because of that the engine leaks oil. The driver side fuel tank also seems to be leaking at over half a tank of gasoline. So those are the two huge issues I’m currently focused on fixing. So currently I’d like to build a list of parts I need so I can replace them. Going onto YouTube I’m able to find some general info on removing the bumper to get to the fuel tanks, but I’m left confused on whether or not my car has internal fuel pumps (or the external in the trunk), does my car have a fuel sediment bowl (the YouTube vid I watched was on a 70 something xj6 and so I am aware that mine could be different, etc). So yeah, any help would be appreciated. I’d love to restore this thing.

 

Single fuel pump, mounted in the trunk just aft of the spare tire.

No sediment bowl

Bumper is just nuts an bolts. Use lots of rust penetrant well ahead of time

Appreciate the diagram and quick reply. Will keep you updated

 

Blasted the bumper bolts I could find with PB blaster. Looks like it’s doing what I need it to do.



Will update on any findings, etc

 

Your bolts and nuts look better than most!

Cheers
