If you're talking about the fuel filler then unfortunately you can't just replace it. As far as I know it's welded to the whole fuel tank assembly... I'm not sure if there is a difference between a regular XJ6 fuel tank and an XJR fuel tank but I know on the outside they'll have a sticker indicating if it's a dual fuel pump type or not

Default Filler Pipe Replacement

What has the dual fuel pump type to do with the filler pipe?

As was explained, the filler pipe is part of the tank. Is yours corroded?

I will also assume you are asking about the FUEL TANK filler PIPE. The question was asked, but unanswered at this time.

If, on the other hand, you are referring to the COOLANT filler HOSE, and there is a language foul up, what has been said, and what follows, is the answer.

The Coolant Filler Hose is an integral part of the bottom radiator hose, and AGAIN, is specific to the R cars.

You will need to replace the tank to replace the Fuel Filler Pipe, and you will need to ensure you get the CORRECT tank, or the 2 pumps (if it has them), will not fit a single pump tank.

OR, by some strange quirk of thought, you are asking about the Transmission Filler Pipe, commonly called the Dipstick Tube. Also specific to the R cars,

Being an R it "should" be a dual pump tank, but like all things in life "measure twice, cut once" applies.
