I have a crack in fuel line. Need to replace, not sure what part is called. Can anyone help me please.
Distant view.

Arrow pointing down shows the crack. Think it is the whole S shaped pipe that is needed.

 

Your best bet IMO is to cut off the offending part and get some decent fuel hose of the correct

id and fit it using Jubilee clips (worm drive clips).

 

Thank you for suggestion, but the crack in the pipe goes all the way back to the fitting

 

I think Meirion1 is suggesting that you replace the cracked pipe completely with new fuel hose and utilise the existing fittings?

 

I would just replace the part from Jaguar?
It has a quick connect where your arrow is so remove it there and also at the other end.

If fact before replacing anything I would make sure by taking that quick connect apart that you don't have an O-ring leak in that QC connection?
I can't see any split tubing in your picture?

How do you disconnect that fitting from engine side. We have tried to no avail. Do you know how these fittings come apart? As far as leaking from o-ring fitting we quickly put key on and straight off. Petrol spewed from the 40mm crack in pipe. Can you give me a part no for this please. Nobody can find it/ Then I can try jaguar for it. Thank you for your suggestion.

 

I would dearly love to do that but cannot find part number anywhere. How do you disconnect that fitting from engine side. We have tried to no avail. Do you know how these fittings come apart?

Ask a Jaguar dealer for the part no?
It will be in here https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/

 

Jeremy? "Jaguar Workshop"
Archibald & Shorter (Official Agents)- they refused to service my X358, claimed it was obsolete. So I wouldn't buy from them if they had the last Jag on earth.
Beachams - No experience.
(all in Auckland)

Jeremy services my car. When some (non-urgent) water pipe parts were needed he got some from overseas and some local. Of course he got the job of fitting them too.

THEY CLAIMED MY CAR WAS OBSOLETE -harrumphs off to cool down
(at my age I'm obsolete too, but my doctor still services me)

 

Mechanic-speak for ' We actually don't have a clue because we don't sell REAL Jags anymore and can't be ars**d to find out'

 

Ireland! I toured Ireland for a week in my 74 XJ6 in about '79. Back then, we had to park the XJ around the corner, don backpacks, and turn up at the Youth Hostel looking all frazzled. Proper Jags were those SIIs. Built down to a price! I even kissed the Blarney Stone, but it didn't do me any good when dealing with the official agents.
(actual reason I had it was to import to NZ at a slight profit, and had to use it for a year before importing...Regulations)

Forgot to mention (NZ), Paul Walbran Motors (guy ex Ken Stout Motors) is a Jag specialist. That's about all I can think of for local specialists.

 

These are standard fuel line connections that have been in use for years?

First remove the sheet metal clip it's a safety clip with a wire on it that holds the connection together. This picture might show it a bit more in detail?
No tools needed for the clip removal. It's just a piece of spring steel.



Here is a explanation on this forum on how those garter spring connections come apart. Shows what tools you need. You can get them very cheaply at any parts store. Again this is all very common stuff.
Fuel Line Connections

I have not been able to find that part but it looks to connect to the fuel rail and then goes down by the fuel filter. I would remove the drivers side front wheel well liner and follow the hose so you can see both ends. Probably the same type of connection on the other end too. Take this hose to the Jaguar dealer along with your VIN (Especially the last 6 digits) to get the right part. If you order parts by mail I would take a picture and see if any Jaguar dealer can get you the correct part number.
It's possible the hose is obsolete and if it is I would search EBay as there are tons of used Jaguar stuff on there.

If you don't have the JEPC (Jaguar Electronic Parts Catalog) get it. It's free on this site and now you have what the Jaguar parts guy has and you can search till your hearts content!

I have done a LOT of Jaguar repairs and Jaguar is VERY good about keeping parts current and available unlike Ford that obsoletes stuff so fast. But the trade off is Jaguar parts are expensive!

Thank you.

 

It's not terribly clear from the JEPC but here is the fuel piping.



I "think" you need item 2. Now you need to post the last 6 digits of your VIN because Jaguar has changed this part at least 4 times depending on serial number.
Also look closely and I believe that assembly has 2 hoses hooked together so I don't think you can get "just" that hose. It's an assembly of hoses and mounting clamps.



See where your car falls and do some searches to see if it looks right. Now I just removed the drivers side wheel well liner on a 2008 XJ because I was rebuilding the air suspension pump.
I looked at the fuel hoses and in the fender well on this 2008 it had a push to release connection on the other end from what your pictures showed.
Be aware that it might have been superseded again with a different part number so the VIN is very important to getting the right part.

Does not look like a very difficult repair?
