Right fuel tank IS leaking on 1985 jaguar XJ6. when fuel filler cap was removed, lots of pressure inside gas tank was relieved, and rate of fuel leak slowed, but did not stop. there IS a recall on the 1995 jaguar xjs for a seemingly identical problem, recall campaign 90v123000. I suspect that the XJ6 has the same problem. I am owner of an independent service facility, and this report IS for a car owned by a customer. car owner tells me that he has had chronic fuel system problems with the vehicle, and has previously replaced the left fuel tank on the vehicle to repair a leak. look at http://www.jcna.com/forums/view.php?vfnum=150&vthread=1732 for a brief thread about another XJ6 with a similar problem. *jb

This 85 XJ6 jaguar was brought to my shop for repair.the left rear gas tank started to leak after I put 2.00 in gas in the tank. My shop was hirerd to repair the tank. The leak was in the (seam) of the tank. I noticed this car had very big gas drain plugs in there tanks,about 2.5 inch across with a enter plug 1.5 inches,a double plug system.every car I have ever worked on , has never had a gas drain plug in there tank bigger then a 1/2 inch. On 5/6/98 I started to drain this tank ,the gas came out faster then what I could catch it, causeing a gas spill and a fire that injured 2 and destroyed my tire & automotive store.i feel this drain plug system was very pourly designed and the reason for my shop fire and accident ,which end up putting me in the hospital for 22 days and destroying my bussness. *ak
