Engines need clean fuel. Sleeping Beauty Jag Mk2 had been sitting for 15 years so the petrol was "off" and the tank was full of sludge....See what I did!
Thank you so much for posting your exploits. I have just bought a 1962 MK2 that has been sitting for 31 years in a garage. I will try your method as it is 34C here in Brisbane at the moment - good drying weather! Much appreciated
I really enjoyed the video today. We had to take the tank out of our MK1 and get it cleaned. It was a bit of a job. Can't wait to hear this old girl fire up!
You are very fortunate the tank plug came out! Have had 3 Jags with stuck plugs. One never came out even using a 24 inch pipe wrench. Brass. Easy to mess up.
Love watching your videos even doe yah tork funny gooday from an Englishman. Gotta say this is so much better with out all those images, BUT like me it's your channel you do what the F you like as I do on mine, Personally I just prefer this format. I found the old fuel is still useful for cleaning stuff. FYI I cannot know who subscribes to my channel but you 'MAY' find it interesting. JAGVETTE1 Pump is not original.Great Video grab yourself a couple of cheap fuel filters and place at a convenient point to make sure you get rid of the crap, as you are well aware SU's don't like crap.
I am a TH-cam novice - personally, I prefer just the technical stuff. Yours are great (I am a subscriber). Me fixing the clock will be the dullest episode when I get around to it, but probably the most watched!! Cos we all suffer problems and we are fascinated about how to fix them.
We talk funny cos Australians are now a mish-mash of many cultures - the origins of modern Australia are from you lot - same legal system, same beliefs and the King is "Defender of the Faith" for us Anglicans. One big difference is that no real farmer here drives a Range Rover (like Jeremey Clarkson) - its Toyota Landcruisers/HiLux here. .... Range Rovers are for well-off inner-city Mothers...
Nothing said yet about water in the system for 15 years. Have a 1959 Mk 1 that had water in the system for unknown period of time. All aluminum water parts were plugged with white crystal mush. Hope yours isn't.

My pump looked newish. I disconnected fuel line at filter and pump fuel through the line for a while. I didn't have any problems with water
