1993 XJ40 VIN 669499, seems to be a cross-over time frame and I am having a hard time finding a fuel pump. I think it should be EBC11365 (discontinued?) What would be suitable substitutes? Will/can they be modified to work? I am also having issues with finding O-Rings that go on the pipes entering the fuel filter. The light blue relays seem to be hard to find also, It there replacements that I should use/ or can get?
Thank You,

The fuel pump is pretty generic, go to rock auto and buy the cheapest, the OEM pump is a Walbro brand and most of the others, Airtex et al including the expensive Bosch are also just a re-boxed Walbros.
The fuel filter is a standard aftermarket thing available from your local parts store or rockauto and fairly sure any o-rings would be in a typical kit assortment or from your local Napa.
It has been many a moon since I replaced all my light blue relays, but I did replace them after Jaguar put out a bulletin suggesting they could be problematic given the fact thet aren't sealed. I believe I replaced mine with black sealed units from FCP EURO although any sealed units with same rating pinouts should be just fine too.
Larry, I did look thru old threads to find what had been done in the past. The part numbers listed that were used are all out of stock/unavailable now (E8249). I ordered from Walbro Kit 5CA246 (thinking it was in stock) but it is listed as on hold. I got my tank out and am getting worried about how long it will take to get parts. My pump had 31655, AOJ015 and 18492-1 on it with Walbro stamped on it. What can I do? Has anyone done this recently?
Thanks, Proquest
Larry, I got the USEP 8249 fuel pump from Rock Auto and most matches except output pipe diameter. It is to big to fit into the donut. It is brass and I am thinking of using my Dremel tool to remove some and polish to make a smooth fit into the donut. Also should I be able to blow through the tower (plugging the donut)? Or will it take more pressure than I got? I don't want to whittle the brass piece down and it still be blocked. Thanks ProQuest
Larry, Thanks for the help. I did return the pump and got the Carter P72222 (it was the right diameter and had both filter screens). I also found the fuel pump O-rings CAC89682 at SNG. I am starting a new thread because no change in symptoms I have with the car.
