Hello all!

My 73 xj12 sedan with carbs is leaking fuel at the canister up under the drivers side fender well.
I don't know what that canister is, why theres a fuel line going to it, or how to fix it.

Please help!!

John

 

Its the carbon canister and there are no more in the world.
How would I bypass it?
Thanks

 

John,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to XJ6 & XJ12 Series I, II & III forum for advice from members with the same model.

This the place to post technical questions about your model.

remove the charcoal cannister, allow it to dry, re-install it. If no luck, try one from a XJ-6, can't be that different. No liquid fuel line goes to it, only a fuel vapor line.

post a picture of it to identify it.

 

could be a fuel tank changeover valve problem
Read this thread which explains the issue

fuel can get routed to the charcoal cannister (which normally just vents the fuel tank air/smell) due to tank overflow

 

Thanks!!
