I was doing the heat treatment on the final grey/black corner piece on the 1999 the other day and I smelled gas really bad.
After awhile I saw a spot on the ground. Getting up under the back of the XJ I was able to see that fuel was running down from the top of the tank. I put my hand up there and the fuel pump assembly was in the tank just fine and the hoses felt normal. The fuel was either dripping from a cracked line or coming up from around where the assembly screws on top of the tank.
My daughter had just filled it up, and I asked her if she stopped with the pump shut off or continued to fill it. She said when the pump shut off she stopped.
As far as I know this is the first time it's been like this.
Anyone else had this problem? What was your issue and how was it resolved?
