hi, I was just wondering, I was looking to replace my fuel pump. I have a 96 XJ6, and I was looking online, and there is so many to choose from. Which one is the best, or OEM? Or which ones would you guys recommend? Also, should I go with a entire kit? or just the pump itself? thanks.

 

Down here I use Bosch, Goss, Fuel Miser, or as a LAST resort OEM.

The "assembly" from Jaguar here is mega$$ (and a Non stock item, really), whilst the pump alone, aftermarket, is around the $200 mark and readily stocked. The pumps come with the inlet filter and all other items required to fit them. The plastic support unit will not be damaged under normal circumstances, so replacement would not be a requirement.

 

Hehe...Grant...in my book....scant differentiation....2 bills IS mega-bucks for a flippin' fuel pump.... (I think my Gr. Marquis was on the order of $50-$60....) but if they crap the load every 100k mi..(and that without warning).....guess I should start shopping now as I have 85k and avg 74 mi/cal day.....so I'll have one on-hand when it goes...

Does anyone know if they relay on tank-level for cooling like the S-types? I "avg" 16.5 gal fillups on the 21.3 gal tank, with fairly frequent 19-20 gal fills. Maybe I'm not doing it any favors?

 

A minute of Googling reveals X300 fuel pumps ranging from $69 to $574. Some of them look suspiciously similar to the f/p I used on my '90 Thunderbird S/C and my brother's '89 Chevy Van :-).

Sometimes vendors use generic pictures but I wonder if there's anything truly unique about the X300 fuel pumps?

Cheers

I have just obtained a Goss GE059 fuel pump, as listed for the X300 NA.

It is as Doug said, "nothing special", so I am going to go thru the pumps at work and see if something else will do the job, and be cheaper, then return the Goss.

I had this same fiasco with the BMW, $698 for a fuel pump, so a little looking in the books and a Mitsubishi unit ($67) was fitted, just fine, a little "out of box thinking" required, and the car never new any different. Sold it as soon as mobile, never again.

 

I got a fuel pump on ebay for $80 with a one year guarantee

When it's my turn, I'll probably order the Denso:
1996 JAGUAR XJ6 Fuel Pump

Hard to believe anyone would order the Bosch for $815 USD.

 

I agree with you 100%, that,s a lot of money for a pump. A friend of mine bought an X300 engine & trans for $950 in real good shape. Lets give that person the benefit of the doubt, he made a typo he really met to type 81.50.

 

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear ... the link I provided was to the listing of fuel pumps at RockAuto ... one item is from Bosch:

BOSCH Part # 69527 More Info $815.79 (USD)
* Non-stock item--shipping delayed up to 2 business days
