Default Fuel tank whoosshh help!

I'm already a little tired of the whoosh from the tank when I open the lid. For days now, as always, I opened the lid to let the gases out and ALL THE GASOLINE came out, you know I started running but please someone in this team of professionals to help me solve this problem. Several people told me to remove the filter that removes the gases but the problem is that they know that the jaguar xjs is very hot and since I live in a country in the Caribbean it would be even hotter and I am afraid that those gases are going to cause a catastrophe.

Going WAY out on a limb here.

You "hint" at an XJS V12.

Year would be nice
Ragtop, or Tintop, good also.

Sooooo many tank venting variations just in those 2 suggestions.

Help us to help you PLEASE.

Hi Luis,

1988 is a confusing year with 3 different models available at different times. Is it a:

- a Factory XJS Cabriolet (this is different from a Convertible)
- an H&E XJS Convertible
- a Factory Convertible?

Paul
