Upgrade your fuel system with SNG Barratt
Let’s face it, time isn’t kind to any of us really. The same is true of automobiles and their components, especially fuel tanks and other parts in the fuel system where the gradual demise is often invisible for the most part until it’s too late. Rust attacks primarily from the inside of a fuel tank due to condensation and other impurity’s such as water in the fuel, causing further damage to the fuel system.
The availability of XJS fuel tanks was an ongoing issue for many years, with poorly repaired or second hand tanks often the only option. Leading Jaguar parts supplier SNG Barratt addressed this when they invested in new tooling to produce high quality replacement tanks for the XJS (CBC55251*) that fit most XJS variants. These fuel tanks are now back in stock and available to order. SNG Barratt also offers a handy fitting kit based on the chassis number to ensure a perfect fit when installing (CBC5525FK1, CBC5525FK2, CBC5525FK3). These kits are currently available on back order.
Replacing the fuel tank presents an ideal opportunity to review and inspect the XJS fuel system as a whole. Replacing the filters, seals etc is a matter of course, but you’d be wise to check the fuel pump, senders, regulators and hoses to ensure your fuel system won’t let you down at the most inappropriate moment. In fact, there’s never a good time to break down, so remember to keep on top of these important maintenance jobs.

Millers Oils Octane Booster
Miller’s VSPe Power Plus Multi Shot is recommended for classic engines now running on unleaded fuel, where an octane improver is needed. Petrol now contains ethanol which attacks rubber hoses, seals and metals such as brass and zinc. Ethanol also absorbs water which can cause corrosion and poor starting. VSPe Power Plus combats the adverse effects of ethanol and helps protect components from corrosion.
Miller’s VSPe Power Plus Multi Shot is a concentrated and convenient ‘one shot’ bottle. This is recommended for classic engines previously requiring leaded fuel but now running on unleaded fuel, where an octane improver is needed. Petrol now contains ethanol which attacks rubber hoses, seals and metals such as brass and zinc. Ethanol also absorbs water which can cause corrosion and poor starting. VSPe Power Plus combats the adverse effects of ethanol and helps protect components from corrosion. It prevents valve seat recession when used with non-hardened valve seats and improves the octane rating of the petrol. 500ml treats 500 litres of unleaded petrol.
