QUOTE(porschefool @ Oct 26 2004, 07:43 AM) So THAT'S why my XJ6 smells like gas inside? I thought it was a fuel line, but couldn't find a leak. IIRC, last time I filled it up I tried to top 'er off... Damn. No smog in my county, guess I'll bypass the canister and see if that helps. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The charcoal cannister is about $700 installed at the dealer. You can buy the part and do it yourself for about 1/2 that. Fixed all fuel-smell problems and the engine ran noticably smoother with a bit lower idle. Plus, the car EASILY passed emissions by a huge margin. The fuel tank on an XJ-6 is presurized so simply removing or bypassing the cannister may not be a smart option. Check the jag lovers site, I am sure someone there could advise. best, |

Attached is a pix of a guide / filler I made for my 914 years ago ... I know it looks like dung but it works.
Standard ABS from the hardware store 2 x 1-1/2 where the lip on the small spout has been cut in half for clearance. Good luck ... Attached image(s)
