Karl, would you like to try again with some punctuation and spell checks?

 

Hi Karl...
As far as the tanks go, you can probably expect to spend $250 - $300 each for new ones. Any of the tanks from 68-87 will work, but you'll have to do some plumbing changes and blank some things off if you go to a later tank. Just a quick look, and Welsh had them for carbed cars for a pretty good price. ( https://www.welshent.com/Jaguar-Fuel...or-P24795.aspx )
I've been selling parts for about 15 years, but don't recommend used tanks. What you'll find is by the time you find decent used ones, pay to have them cleaned and sealed, and then shipped, you'll be right at the cost of new ones.
The hoses and things are pretty much generic fuel line, so any auto parts place should have them.
If you're going to replace the hard lines going from the tanks to the engine, you'll do best to try to find a shop that can bend some up for you...
It's not a fun job to swap them out, but luckily not one you have to do very often.
Good Luck with your repair...

Karl,

You have now REPORTED a second post where I suspect you really intended to QUOTE it:




When it comes to a choice between SAVING YOUR TIME and WASTING MY TIME having to sort it out, there will only be ONE WINNER. Let me give you a hint - it won't be you.

I dont know the difference in quoting and not quoting. I just joined this forum because i have a jaguar and have questions and am looking for assistance if i have to use proper school english to find the answers i need then i will happily find another forum or website to do so thank you for reporting my messages, I just want help or advise on my girl. I have waited many years for this moment, i was hoping my father was gonna b here to enjoy this moment with me, but we don't live forever. Thank you for reading and happy new year all.

 

You clearly have plenty of time to reply but not enough to learn the basics of forum use. I'll save you wasting any more of your extremely valuable time.
