There is a small opening behind the seat back of the rear passenger compartment. First drain the fuel for safety, next using a small tool called a line remover (can be purchased at any auto store for about $3.00) place the tool around each fuel line leading into the the tank from that opening I mentioned earlier press down into the tank and gently pull each line free. Next go to the trunk make sure you disconnect the battery, pull out all the upholstery you will see an aluminum plate remove the four bolts from the top of this plate which are bolted into the back rim of the trunk also remove the bolts from the bottom corners of this panel pull the panel out and set to the side (be careful not to bend or dent the panel as this will affect it's alignment when putting it back on). Next remove the harness from fuel level sensor (located in tank). Finally, pull the tank backk towards the rear of the car and remove the lines (rubber) and harnesses going into the fuel pump in the top of the tank

2000 jaguar xk8 how many gallons of gas does the fuel tank hold?

20 gallons- with 2 in reserve (when tank gauge reads empty). Plenty....! This is within a couple of tenths of a gallon; I don't have it in front of me at the moment. It is 17.6 gallons "on the gauge" and 19.4 counting 1.8 gallons "reserve" that doesn't show on the gauge (after the gauge hits empty).
