Known issues on the 1999 XK8. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it concerns the gasoline fuel system. Certain Fram replacement fuel filters, part number G3727, have a connector that was not manufactured to Honeywell's specification, so the O-ring may not seat correctly on the fuel line. That condition may cause an inadequate seal at the connection, potentially leading to a fuel leak, and in the presence of an ignition source a fire could occur. Owners have filed 23 complaints for the year.

From tracing a fuel leak back to the filter connection to a routine service interval on the 4.0L V8, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the right specification for this 1999 XK8.
