Rusty gas

with one comment

Tried starting the car today and discovered rusty gas coming out of the fuel line at the front of the engine.

Should I:

1. Drain the tanks, replace the fuel pumps within and put a
new filter up front?

2. Remove the tanks and rehab?

3. Remove the tanks and put new ones in?

I left a post on jag-lovers.org XK forum – will see what fellow enthusiasts recommend.

A New car joins the stable

without comments

Last month I was the winning bidder on a 74 XJ6L on ebay for a grand total of $585.  I’ve since picked up the car and brought it back to Florida.  The XJ6C is going to the junk yard after I strip all usable and saleable parts off of her.   Parts that are in common with the sedan will be kept and Couple specific parts will be sold.  At least the new car is complete and isn’t a rust bucket.  Pictures later.
