88 xjs 5.3 v12 not getting fuel?
#21
Hello Singb
As explained above - just above that bulkhead is a small rubber hose - about 100mm in length - I will find my photo when I am home and post it, but it is very obvious when you remove the tire.
Also - get into your boot and really twist those rubber hoses from the surge tank to the bulk head. If they make noise or are brittle, or look suspicious, then please consider changing them out.
That is no leak - that is a flood. Just to reinforce what OB has said - I once purchased a Dodge Pheonix that had a fuel fire start at the petrol tank - They got the fire out at the front door hinge. (I purchased it for the block under the bonnet).
Please don't let this happen to yours
Cheers

Thanks for the guidance. I will definitely take cautious when replacing that rubber hose. Most likely, I will unplug the battery to be safe. Once I get under the car, I will try to replace as much of the hose as possible. If you could find that picture that would be great. I won't get to this project until Christmas. Again appreciate your help!

Just another photo - on this one you can see the steel line (and bulk head) that you can see in your video (Found this one as I scratched my head today trying to remember how my fibre optics thing went back in). Also explains the lack of good photo's of the rubber hose (really is not good access)

Fuel expansion tank
I was wondering if you actually cleaned the fuel expansion tank? I have hard time starting my XJS. Could it be the fuel issue?
