Jaguar XKR Fuel Pump Replacement:The Complete Guide (Twin Pump Model) without removing the fuel tank

I finally started working on the fuel system of the Jaguar XKR project. [00:51] Replacing the fuel pumps on a Jaguar X100 (XKR model) is a notorious job because of the twin pump setup and the difficult access through the boot and rear parcel shelf. ​In this video, I walk you through the entire Part 1 process: disconnecting the battery [02:16], removing the boot liners, accessing the "hidden" fuel tank hatch [15:38], and siphoning out over 20 liters of stale, 10-year-old petrol. [18:29] ​We also run into a common DIY problem—the new aftermarket pumps don't quite fit the original Jaguar brackets! [27:31] I show you how I trim the rubber mounts to make them work. ​Key moments in this episode: ​Accessing the Tank: Finding the fuel pump location behind the rear seat [11:13]. ​The Fuel Drain: Siphoning 25 liters of bad fuel from the dormant XKR [18:12]. ​Pump Extraction: Removing the twin fuel pumps from the internal tank housing [19:52]. ​Modification Hack: Trimming the rubber isolators for aftermarket fuel pumps [24:49]. ​If you're working on a Jaguar XK8 or XKR, Subscribe to see Part 2 and find out if it finally starts! ​#JaguarXKR #JaguarX100 #FuelPumpReplacement #CarRestoration #JaguarRepair #DIYCarRepair #ProjectsInTheBarn #WillItRun ​3.
