Logic would suggest the feed so it filters the dross collecting in the tank.

Of course, there is also a fuel strainer on the pump inlet in the tank. That one got me on my XJ8.

thanks to all, I just wanted to be absolutely sure that I was using the correct fuel line to fit an external pump on the feed line.

Blessed Bovine!!!!!! (holy ****) I just thought of what to do with my SEVERELY hail damaged 2001 XJ8!!!!!

If all the damage is to the top, then why not just remove MOST of the top!!!!!

I have a 1980 VW Sportruck (Rabbit PU or Caddy)) and a Jaguar Sportruck would make a great vehicle to go to the feedstore. My Chevy truck pulls my trailer but I don't need a big truck to get just some bags of feed a few times a month.

I have several welders and a plasma cutter but I really don't do much paint and body. I guess I could learn?????

Wow!
I remember there was an crime novel author whose hero had
a Rolls Royce converted into a pickup. I always wondered if it was
the real deal or if it was just a gimmick for the novels he wrote.

Hey, if Ford had the Ranchero and Chevy had the El Camino, why can't Jaguar
have a .. a . . a "Jaguareo?", a "El Jaguaro?". Why would the name have to end with
a "o"?
The Jaguar Truck name - Jagruck?
Any suggestions out there?

Happy Trails and P O R (Press On Regardless)
