Hi Hetzer,
I'm not sure about the later fuel tanks, but mine (1989 convertible) has a seperate small tank under the battery to make sure there is no loss of fuel supply in cornering etc.
The main tank is split into 3 compartments with baffles, again to stop fuel sloshing around I think, when filling up the XJS is know to have a problem with 'swirl' in the filler neck, which keeps cutting the fuel filler gun off, and can sometimes make you think the tank is full when it isn't. This has happened to me a few times. The tank cpacity is around 80 ltr.
Fuel sender units and guages are also know to be a bit temperamental at times...
It may be different with later tanks with inbuilt fuel pumps etc.
I wouldn't go to the trouble and expense of changing the tank for this minor defect...
Cheers
Reg
