Maybe they are living on the sugar his ex-wife put in the
tank? As for gasoline, feh, a veritable sun drenched beach
for bacteria. There are bugs that live in concentrated
sulfuric acid, at temperatures well above 300 F, in arsenic
solutions that would kill every bachelor in San Diego, etc.
and even some that live a coupla miles down in the crust.

Chlorine? Yeah, drop some pure chlorine in the gas tank. Or
better yet, to avoid the smell, add some 30% or greater Hydrogen
Peroxide. Be sure to have a camera rolling.... and post the
results.

Re: XJ eating fuel pumps
 

Are these "in tank" fuel pumps? If so then they obviously would have an
indication of the nature of the tank and sending unit. If it's an external
pump then I hope they replaced the fuel filter when they replaced the pump.
Seems logical they'd take a look at the tank in the process but under
warranty they'd probably just fix the symptom until the warranty expires and
then they'll do the exploratory at your expense.
