Known issues on the 1997 XJ6. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the fuel system: a replacement fuel filter connector that was not manufactured to spec can prevent the O-ring from seating correctly on the fuel line, and an inadequate seal at that connection can lead to a fuel leak that, in the presence of an ignition source, could start a fire. Owners have filed 6 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the fuel system are here.
Whether you're chasing a fuel line leak or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1997 XJ6.
