Re: Unstable fuel gauge - XJ
I find it to more than that, as a rule of thumb about 250 miles or
about five hours of driving the manufacturers (?) want you to get out and walk around your car, and dump your load. Tractors holding five hundred to a thousand gallons fuel, go much further and have to make a buck between truck stops.

Re: Unstable fuel gauge - XJ
Just stop at every gas station you see, you will probably need fuel anyway!

Re: Unstable fuel gauge - XJ
Nahhhh.
I run a 2.8L with a leaned out Vari-Jet carb, crane 'higher' lift cam. higher pressure in the tires and 'opened' orfice EGR and get 22+ mpg at highway speeds. Not bad for an XJ. Body's got 340K miles. The only thing I havent rebuilt is the E-coat under the paint. I 'xpect this pup to go at least 1/2M.
