Default XJ8 Fuel pipes needed

My beloved XJ8 Sport, 2001 has a corroded fuel pipe/feed pipe making it extremely dangerous to drive.

Unfortunately these parts are no longer produced by Jaguar, and all my other sources seem to be out of stock too (including David Manners).NNA6082AHPIPE-FUEL X308NND6103ADFUEL FEED PIPE X308
If anyone can help with these parts, either if they have them in stock or know where I could try, they would be an absolute life saver

Hi jong87,

I don't know about the U.K., but in the U.S. some of the better auto parts stores stock lengths of hydraulic and fuel pipe with fittings already attached with standard flare ends. A pipe that is a little too long can be bent into a loop somewhere convenient to reduce the overall length from fitting to fitting.

If you can't find stock pipes with fittings attached, a good independent automotive shop or hydraulic hose shop may be able to make up pipes of the correct length and with the correct fittings and flares on each end. They may also be willing to bend the new pipe to the approximately correct shape, which you can refine when you install the pipes in the car.

With a little care, it is not difficult to form gentle bends on these pipes. For sharper bends, special tools are available at most auto parts stores and they are generally not too expensive if you shop around.

Please keep us informed.

Cheers,

Don
