good luck to you ! lucky your car is not an R model or you will spend alot money and time to look for an used one. its hard to come by now days. the STR has different fuel pumps and wiring system then the regular S type model. I have to locate a correct version from out of state for $800 (whole assembly with 2 fuel pumps).

I found this website trying diagnose the raw fuel smell in the back seat of my wifes 2005 S type. Called Jag corporate in NJ, they said recall had already been carried out. The person we bought the car from said they had moved locations in 2006. I am starting the process of getting a solution......

There seem to be many many owners with this problem that has been "fixed" but subsequently returns. If everyone with this problem logged onto the NHTSA web site and filed a complaint it might get their attention.
Everyday we hear about massive recalls on other makes of vehicles with problems far less hazardous than this leaking tank issue.

My 2005 S-Type's fuel tank was replaced under the recall nearly two years before we purchased the car in December 2008. No fuel-leaking issues during our ownership and knocking on wood to stay that way....
It appears that Jaguar has recently been willing to assist some owners with this issue but not willing to assist others. That may depend upon the owner's ability to document the issue and willingness to go to battle and remain tenacious throughout the process. Keep us posted how your specific issue gets resolved....

Well it seems that the tank that I purchased sight unseen and the fuel pump caps are not compatible......I have the original split cap design, and new tank is like the one currently in Ellens Jag. Anyone have ideas on where to the split caps for the original style tank?
BTW-Jag dealer said the recall had been done to this vehicle, I don't know why it would use the split caps vs the solid ones.
