JAGUAR XJ6 SERIES 3 4.2 AUTO
A REGULAR VISITOR, WE RECENTLY RE-COMMISSIONED THIS CAR
WITH A COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE, AND A LOT OF ELECTRICAL REPAIR
WORK WHICH RESULTED WHEN WE TOOK OFF THE OLD LPG SYSTEM.
THE FUEL TANKS ARE NOW QUITE CORRODED, AND RUST LADEN FUEL
IS CLOGGING UP FILTERS AND INJECTORS ETC. THE CAR NOW BACK
WITH US TO HAVE A PAIR OF BRAND NEW TANKS - LEFT AND RIGHT.
THE SOLENOID BASED IN-CABIN SWITCHING SYSTEM ALSO UNDERGOING
A REWIRE, TO RETURN TO A SMOOTH LEFT/RIGHT TANK TRANSITION ,
ONCE THE BUTTON PRESSED. THIS IS AN INTERESTING CONCEPT, DATING
BACK TO THE EARLY XJ'S, WHICH HAD A TWIN TANK SYSTEM, IN ORDER
TO SPREAD WEIGHT EVENLY, AND MAXIMISE BOOT SPACE.
