Hi All.

I am an X358 & X351 owner but a friend asked me for help today with his fuel filler neck.

He was carrying a large container in his boot and had to brake harshly when turning. The container slid and banged the inside of the boot and when he went to fill the car he noticed that the feller neck was blocked by a metal plate.

I used the tool on my own car when I stupidly tried to fill with petrol and a flap with a hole in the centre stopped came across the neck. The hole allowed the insertion of the reset tool but on this XE the flap is solid so the tool cannot be inserted..

Has anyone came across this one before and what was the fix? I plugged my SDD in but his car was not supported.

TIA.

Maybe worth pulling the carpet back and looking for damage in there, if something hit that area.

It sounds like you may have this problem.

Locked Out of My Fuel Tank

Today I tried to put diesel in my car, but the silvery metal door, behind the yellow diesel cap, refused to move. I asked a mechanic at the gas station's body shop to come out and take a look to be sure that it wasn't me ;-) He could not get the nozzle to go in either, and asked his mechanic...

Exactly the problem. Will probably need SDD but my version does not have his car details. Perhaps a hard Reset might do the job. I would try if it was my own car but not on someones elses.

From what I understood from the other thread. They said something had become loose and it jammed the flap.

You may have to dismantle the flap.
It seems to be part of the cap.

Blocked fuel tank breather/vent

I can't fill the tank on my 163 PS diesel. I'm pretty sure the breather is blocked. The misfuelling protector has not dropped down so it's not that. Does anyone know the layout and position of the breather(s)?

There are pictures from Topix with a description in the thread.

It could cost him if that is the case. Auch!

I would start by removing the the surround and looking to see if there is any thing has caused the problem.

As it not your car though it may be better to suggest that he goes to an independent jaguar specialist

Advised him to visit Alistair MacMillan in Motherwell. Just about 3 miles from us.

That looks simply like the misfuelling protection device. 20s to fix, just follow the instructions in the manual. The tool will be in the foam pack near the battery.

I tried my tool on it bit this thing totally closed the filler neck.
