Fuel Pump: Service and Repair



CAUTION: Observe all fire hazard precautions detailed in FUEL SYSTEMS / SERVICE PRECAUTIONS, when working on open fuel systems.
Fuel system MUST be depressurized before disconnecting any fueling component.

Jaguar recommends use of a special non-ferrous wrench, tool JD175, for removing fuel hose clamps located inside fuel tank. This is to eliminate the possibility of sparks being created.
