Fuel pump Tank Seal Replacement -- Needed?
OK the fuel pump on my XJ6 has started to make some angry sounds and before it leaves me sit I am going to replace it. WHile getting parts prices I found the tank seal is aprox $90.
Does anyone know if this thing is reusable? or is it a must have? I may order it and return it if I dont use it but I was just curious.
Thanks
Joe

Joe,
Being near 20+ years old, I would always replace that seal, UNLESS, it is easy to get at later in time.
I bet its NOT, as its the same as the X300, so tank out to do the job is NOT fun.
I would shop around for that seal. I use XK Unlimited in San Louis Obispo for many items, and even with shipping down here, I am still in front.

Thanks for the tip on XK unlimited as it's always good to have another source. On these parts they were more expensive. The seal was $112 vs 87.
I was going to stop driving the XJ for a little anyways aft I did some work on my Trooper, it's getting a timing belt, water pump and some overdue maint as its been sitting for a few months. Then I will tackle the XJ. Aside from the new problem of the fuel pump I need to check in on the left blower motor and low air flow issue. I want to tackle the CEL. I think the ecu has a fault and I am going to open it up and check for a bad solder joint or relay???
If that wasn't enough the wife's Jeep needs a fuel tank sending unit as the gaugeis reading incorrectly and she ran out of gas at over 1/2 a tank showing. I guess it's a good thing I have a lift to use.... Now all I need is time.
