New project ???

[steph74]

Hi everybody,

when driving my daughter to her friend's house, I couldn;t help to notice the red XJ in the yard that looked abandoned

It is a stock 98, standard transmission, 4x4 (NP231), looks like chrysler rear axle (just had a quick look, it has a flat bottom)....

I am not sure they are selling, but I told them I would give it a look. it is not running as for now.

They suspect sabotage and think someone poured some paint in the gas tank. Looking at it, it seem that there are traces of paint down the gas trap.

My question is would it be salvageable by just changing the tank and/or would it need the whole fuel system to be changed ?

And if indeed it was run (she said no) with the paint in gasolin? what kind of damage can this do to the engine ?


Awaiting for your expert opinions (hey I might make her an offer to get some parts... and get rid of that ugly red body)

Cheers everybody
