Thought I would give a write up on a solution for the NLA fuel tank pickup tube screen P/N G037-42-113A used on the GSL-SE.
Here is an optional replacement I have found that has worked now for several years with no problems. It does require trimming the pickup tube .125" or could be bent along with adding a skim layer of JB weld to build up the thickness of the tube for a snug fit.

Parts needed: Jaguar fuel pickup filter P/N CBC5649 used on 1969-1987 Jaguar XJ6 XJ12 & 1976-1992 XJS models.

The jaguar filter sits at .550" needing .125" of the tube to be removed for the bottom of the filter to sit in the same position as the OEM filter at .425" from the bottom of the return tube. The reason is the jaguar filter has a taller internal shelf than the Mazda filter.


Need to remove .125 of material to make the Jaguar filter fit properly


Original filter sits at .425" from the bottom of the return tube.

 

Where the top of the jaguar filter meets the tube a thin layer of JB is applied, once dry its sanded for a snug fit when the Jaguar filter is installed.



Here is the final product ready for install.

The cork gasket for fuel pickup tube is P/N FA54-42-182

 

Also don't forget to check the little filter on the fuel pump inside the inlet tube for debris as that tends to get plugged when the pickup tube screen fails and causes fuel pressure issues as well.
