Evaporative Loss Flange
If yours is rusting like mine, be prepared to get SCREWED, the one they make now does NOT fit your tank, you have to buy a new tank also. Mine is 2001 MY.
Tank $425+
Flange $200
$625+ to fix Jaguars design screwup and I get to take the tank out AGAIN, you have no idea the joy I am feeling right now.
PS: that is $625 w/forum discount at Nalley, without discount it is over $700.

Decided to bite the bullet and get the parts, called Nalley and found out the tank is $2,000, not $400 and evap loss flange in included along with new pump.
Actually it is $1,700 with forum discount, I believe the redesigned flange was only used on 01 & 02, least that is what the parts guy told me.

Apparently the flange was changed not to long ago and mine is rusted is rusted everywhere that is metal. I was thinking of putting some kind of sealant on the metal, but seeing how bad it was rusted (rust is coming off in flakes), I doubt it would hold long and might end up causing more problems. So I am going to by the new tank once the parts guy from Nalley confirms the new tank comes with everything.

As Matt stated above it doesn't seem to be a particularly sore spot for our cars. The worst that could happen is you contact a salvage yard, they pull the part and if it isn't any good, you don't purchase it. I don't know about you but I could probably invest a couple days wait for that much money.
Also, considering how many peeps have replaced their fuel pumps without mention of any rust issue...

Call and ask the condition of the replacement items? I doubt JagHeaven would screw you like that and I'm sure they get enough in that they have a few in serviceable condition....

And one reason you might not here about this much, is that it is only model years 2001-02 that are affected and only XK8's, R's have a different flange.
