submersible fuel pump for 1976 jaguar XJ6C
Hello, I just have a question, I have been to the auto parts stores, I heard a 1970's Vega submersible would work, but it is discontinued. The Haynes and the Jaguar factory repair manual say my fuel pump are dual pumps under the tire area. I have since removed both failed submersible fuel pumps and was wondering if anyone knows of a submersible fuel pump that would fit a 76 XJ6C? Thanks in advance!

Joe, you won't find much about this topic on the coupes unfortunately. I just completed a fuel tank redo on my 77 xj6c. I got donor tanks from a series 3 car and got an external SU pump with a valve switch. They don't make the in tank pumps anymore and you shouldn't try other brands unless uounknow it will fit for sure.

Fab up a custom hanger & run a Bosch 040
or if your just planning on running stock, look at a walbro 255 LPH pump.
Both can be had anyware & are fairly easy to mount when building a custom fuel system.

I know this is probably overkill, but look at teh other fuel pumps made by bosch, I can tell you it s a pretty good idea to update your fuel system.
others are going to tell you to stay jaguar, or if it aint broke, don't fix it.
but...
if you do a proper job of updating, you no longer have to worry about tracking down a discontinued part.
you might have to look into a FPR if you update to a newer pump.

i agree with aristocat, on my 1975 XJC V12 , had some internal rust issues, took out the cross over valves, just teed things together, pump form SUMMIT racing,inline pump,(much cheaper price than bosch) added two filters from outlets of 2 tanks .filters from a ford car, 1/3 cost of jag, yet visual looks the same,go-figure?
works great

You may need new tanks and lines. The jag tanks are rust prone. Todays ethanol fuels exacerbate that problem. Tanks cost about 300$ each. This is probable a carbureted Jag so you may want to install a pair of fuel filter in parallel. Nothing fancy just a set of generic clear filter that you can keep an eye on. I'm in NYC so I cant help find a local solution.

this pic may not be the best way, but my XJS 78 V12 had the complte system rusted, all the way from tank to engine! i decided to do away with rust and ethanol problems forever!
plastic fuel cell tank, stainless steel electric pump , anodized aluminum filter casing, all lines and fittings AERO-QUIP anodized aluminum, teflon lined SS flex hoses, everything available from SUMMIT racing, aint cheap, but owning an old Jaguar isnt ethier.

This is very aged information, but when I restored a 76 XJ6C in 1990 I found that a fuel pump for a 1976/77 Chevrolet Monza V8 was a nearly identical copy to the factory pump.
Had different terminals, which was an easy work-around. The Jaguar factory original was sourced from AC Delco.
