My brother's 1990 Sovereign won't start.  It was starting sometimes a
few days ago, and I put some alcohol in the tank to get rid of any
possible ice in the tank/lines.

I was scrounging around the trunk looking for the fuel pump and did
not see it.

Outside under where the left rear seat is there is something with fuel
lines going in/out.  Is that the filter?

Can I use the Series 3 XJ6 fuel relay/pump testing procedure from
Dwyer on this car, or is it different?  Finding out exactly which
model this is for parts/service reference is the most cryptic thing I
have ever tried to do on a car.  Why do jag-lovers make theirbrochures
pages so diffcult to use?

Any suggestions?

the fuel pump is mounted on the rear differential cross-member there are two
small bolts which hold the bracket in place. Have a look for the fuel filter
on the underside of the vehicle and follow the pipe to the diff cross
member.

Thanks for the quick response, Jon.  I'll look at it after work today.

Maybe you could also tell me where to find the fuel pump relay & fuse,
so I could check those before starting to rip parts off the vehicle
when they might be okay.

Tom,

my car is a right hand drive and the fuel pump relay is situated below the
passenger side glovebox where you will have to remove about half a dozen
screws to get the trim off. or it may be in the engine compartement attached
to the brake pedal hanger as 1990 was the year a few changes were made.
