When mounting the fuelrail back into place I noticed the fuel feed pipe and return hose have a green odd shaped seal. See photo.
In the parts manual I don’t see these mentionned. Does anyone know a partnumber or any other way to obtain these?
Hi- there is a guy on eBay selling them, but I’ve had perfect success stacking three green Air Conditioning O-Rings on several XJS. On the XJS list someone suggested the eBay listing is just some cut up green PTFE sleeve from McMaster Carr.
EDIT: eBay link is corrupt. Search for “2 NEW Viton Olives for Fuel Feed & Return Pipes on 1992-1996 Jaguar XJS XJ12”

Just to confirm that there two different part numbers because there are two different seals of slightly different sizes and I dunno whether one seal would work on both pipes
I ordered the seals from Woxparts this morning and now I got an email saying they are out of stock and unobtainable.
My JLR dealer and SNG Barrat cannot supply them either. On with the search.
The ones on eBay for XJS etc look quite different from mine.
I replaced my Viton seals around 15 years ago and they are obviously much scarcer these days.
You can buy Viton O ring kits fairly cheaply and a poster recently said he had success using several O rings stacked on the pipe fitting. That might be worth a try.
