How do you test a fuel gauge sender unit?
To check the wire, disconnect it from both the sender and the “S” pin on back of the gauge. Set your multimeter to the Ohms scale and check the resistance within the wire. If there is no resistance (as close to zero Ohms as possible), the circuit is good and the sender is faulty.
Where does the gas come from in a Jaguar XJ6?

Where are the return valves on the XJ6?
The return valves are located in the rear wheel wells behind semi-rectangular sheet metal covers. Turn the key “on”, select the right tank, and using your test light check for voltage at the white/purple wire for each valve. Your light should show 12 volts at all three valves. Now, select the left tank and make the same voltage tests.
How do you remove the fuel tank from a Jaguar?
