The sytem in the X150 actually seems quite similar to the one in my S-Type that I have had out and changed. There is a "sock" filter at the bottom of both - quite normal, I believe. The S-Types, like the 4.2 X150s have a "normal" fuel filter in the fuel line. The 5.0 Jaguars have this upper flange that incorporates the main fuel filter as illustrated above by jahummer:
The pump module takes fuel from both sides of the fuel tank and supplies it to the fuel delivery line via the PVV and the
mounting flange. The pump module is mounted in the RH (right-hand) side of the fuel tank, on a bayonet fitting welded to
the bottom of the fuel tank.
A swirl pot is integrated into the base of the pump module housing. A 60 micron filter is attached to the swirl pot inlet at the
base of the housing.
The fuel pump is an electric, variable speed, vane pump installed in the top of the housing. The pump has a maximum rated
flow of 234 liters/hour (61.82 US gallons/hour) at 12.2 V and 4.5 bar (65.3 lbf/in.2).
The inlet of the fuel pump is located in the center of the swirl pot. Pipes connect the two outlet ports of the fuel pump to the
PVV and to a jet pump on top of the housing. The jet pump draws fuel from the LH (left-hand) side of the fuel tank through a
suction pipe connected to the remote pump housing. A 'spider trap' in the remote pump housing prevents the ingress of
larger pieces of debris.
Operation of the fuel pump is controlled by the FPDM. The fuel pump is connected to the FPDM via an electrical connector on
the underside of the mounting flange.
I'd like to add that the fuel pump flange which contains the fuel filter, will NOT fit through the access port under the back seat.
Either cut the hole larger or drop your fuel tank.

Cutting the hole larger is a BIG mistake! IMHO. Proper sealing of the hole will be lost and you will smell fuel and exhaust henceforth.
The resale value of your car will plummet and your respect for yourself as a craftsman will be lost.
Removing saddle style fuel tanks is a PITA. The task LOOKS daunting. But plan each step. take your time and it CAN be done.
Hint: Remove as much fuel as possible. Mark the drive shaft and flange for reassembly. Use very substantial supports for the car and have a helper to support the exhaust and tank at critical moments. It is possible to loosen the suspension bolts to remove the tank but a complete disconnect for clearance is "just as easy". The process has been discussed on this forum. If replacing the flange/filter is the task, consider replacing the fuel pump, especially for a higher mileage car. Also, do the fuel level sender TSB if retaining the original unit. You'll feel proud having accomplished the task once, but foolish doing it twice.
Good luck!

@trkyam, thank you for posting the quote from the manual.
A bit of clarification for those who haven't seen the manual or the pump yet:
The fuel tank is a saddle design that straddles the drive shaft and exhaust pipe resulting in low points on two sides.
There are two fuel pumps in the tank, one on each side.
An electric pump is located in the right side, within a plastic tank that serves as a temporary reservoir and as a support for the fuel level sender.
As noted above, the electric pump is small but quite powerful. Normally submerged, the pump dissipates heat to the fuel and will overheat if run dry.
The second pump, located on the left side, is a "jet pump". The jet pump uses the "venturi effect" to transfer fuel back to the right side. The jet pump/venturi effect uses pressurized fuel through a nozzle to "induce" flow. Worth a "Google". Helps explain why such a powerful mechanical pump was used.
Removing the fuel tank for filter or pump service provides an opportunity to completely clean accumulated trash by draining and then mopping the residual with a clean cloth.

Thank you V7Sport. I ordered a fuel filter from SNG, they have it in stock in GB and are shipping it to me in the US. It will take 7-10 business days which I think is very fast. Since I am doing maintenance and not a repair, it really doesn’t matter if it took longer. This is the last maintenance item needed on my 07XKR convertible 67k miles in Winter Gold.

You’re welcome. Ordered from the UK? You may not have realized Barratt’s has a US branch in New Hampshire.
Glad you are keeping the car in good order!
Well…darn. I figured it was time to replace the fuel filter on my 40,000 mile ‘15 XKR. A little while back was cruising about 70 and did did some surging, not increasing ending speed but like a short series of blurbs with it no backfire or missing type symptoms. I thought it might have been bad gas I just filled with. It did it a few more times. When I got home I added Techron fuel system cleaner & water absorber…can’t remember what brand it was. It’s only done it once since in about 400 miles, so, I figured I’d replace the fuel filter. I did (apparently bad) research and figured I had the inline fuel filter, on the left side in front of the left wheel. So, I ordered ine from the dealer…for $150. I finally got around to jacking up the beast, and I can’t find the filter.
now, I stumble across this thread to find out my car doesn’t have the in,ine filter? Really, with the small office in the injectors, and all it has is the sick thing by the pump. Is that correct?
This is the one I thought it took:
Oh yeah…just this weekend when I started her up, I got "check engine”. Well, I opened the hood (bonnet) and looked and the engine was still there. No symptoms of badness, so gotta hook up my OBD scanner.

Yes your filter is in the fuel tank. I don't have a 5.0 liter so can't help you on the part number but strange that when I input the part number pictured, it comes up as fitting 07-14. That isn't right, The 2010 onward should be a different number. Perhaps the EPC shows something different.
The 5.0s have 1 filter on the fuel inlet flange on top thr tank, it's a 30 micron filter, as well as the sock on the pump itself.
If you don't own a 5.0 please stop spreading false information.
who is spreading false information? WTF? He's literally asking if he bought the wrong filter and I confirmed he did. I also said I didn't know the correct part number.

That looks like the fuel filter that I bought last year for our 4.2 XK ..... although I also don't own a 5.0 so I do hope that I'm not spreading false information.
Ok…who wants to buy my OEM Jaguar fuel filter. I lost the receipt and exceeded the return window, its part number is..2C2P13476. Sell for $75, including shipping Cont. US. Pay Pal. PM me your Pay Pal info and it’s yours. It’s your responsibility to figure out if it the right fuel filter for your car, as I was wrong buying it for my ‘15 XKR 5.0
