Can anyone tell me where my fuel leak detection pump is located?

 

Is that actually a thing???

I've been up the fuel system's **** and I have not come across anything called a ..fuel leak detector???

 

Never heard of it either, but in my copy of the 2015 F-Type V6 Workshop Manual (exact same engine as the XF V6 SC) when I search for "fuel leak detection pump" it comes up five or six times.
Funny thing is they are all the same, as follows:
"17.15.53 FUEL LEAK DETECTION PUMP - COUPE, NAS 1.4 USED WITHINS"
I have NFI what that is meant to mean other than that those listings are included in a massive list (and I mean hundreds) of what appear to be dealership repair codes (eg 17.15.53) and times (eg 1.4 hours), none of which are explained in any detail.
Nada mention anywhere else in the entire 28,378 pages of the manual of this mysterious "fuel leak detection pump", but it does seem to be "a thing", it's just impossible to tell exactly what thing or where it is!
My WAG is that it is a dealer diagnostic tool and not part of the car itself.

 

It's a North America Spec. (NAS) part known as the Diagnostic Module for Leak Detection (DMTL) It's mounted on or near the fuel vapor charcoal canister in the area above and behind the fuel tank, just follow the gas fill pipe and look for a black rectangular box, it's mounted to the drivers side of that box.
Basically it pressurises the the fuel system to check for possible vapor leaks, it what turns on the "check engine light" when you leave the gas cap off, and over filling the gas tank can kill it. It's a common fail point for emissions here in California. .lol

wow....learned something new.

 

The fact that it exists wasn’t the original question. I still haven’t learned if it’s location. If anyone has some insight, please advise.
Thanks in advance.

 

I believe Big Will was giving you some clue on where to find it - see his post above.

 

Guess he want me to do the install too?
