Hi,
A club member is asking about this after importing a 2002 4.0 litre X308 from USA.
His problem is that the car does not allow him to fuel up. Apparently, there is a valve in the filler system that will not allow the car to be fuelled unless all electrics have been shut off. This “feature” is now failing and needs to be checked or removed.
What can you tell me about this “function” of the XJ8?
It’s there a similar one for the x300? Both my XJ12 and the XJ6 wouldn’t / won’t fill up unless the bottom left corner of the car is the highest point.
I have no idea if it has to do with EVAP system in the US.
We were only issued relevant TSBs for the Market we were in.
You could disconnect the charcoal canister to see if the fuel tank will fill faster?
Maybe the canister or the ‘close valve’ is the issue?
The EVAP FLANGE on the tank top can also be faulty?
Hi,
Well, I think we’ll try replacing the carbon cannister first, since the bulletin was farily clear on that, unless there are any damages to pipes, etc, which I find rather unlikely.
