Default Where is Fuel Filter??

Can anyone please tell me where the fuel filter is located on my 90 XJS coupe.

Typically they're under the car inside the left rear wheel. HOWEVER, that's on an XJ6. Not sure if the XJS is the same.

Here's something I found on the net:

be super careful about both a) the fact that it's going to spit fuel all over your driveway, and b) the bolt you have have to get off is a supremely rare 12mm banjo fitting. I broke mine and to wait like 3 months before anyone came up with a suitable replacement. It's a fairly simple process though. Jack up left rear wheel (driver side). Remove wheel, and put a jackstand on the support point. Seriously, you'll be getting under the car, so don't trust that stupid little jaguar jack.
Remove the banjo bolt w/ a 17mm wrench, then unscrew the filter from the y adapter on it's rear. (it helps if you unscrew the filter holder from underneath the car [after you rmove the banjo bolt, but before you remove the y adapter])
good luck and be extra careful with that fitting.
AGain, this is for an XJ6, and I don't know if they're the same.

On my '88 XJS V12 the f/f was behind the spare tire and used just hose clamps for attachment.

Yours is probably the same

In the trunk around the spare wheel is correct.
