Hess & Eisenhardt Fuel Tank Removal
Introduction:
The Hess fuel system is more complex than the standard XJ-S fuel system. This section will describe the removal of the rear fuel tank.. The fwd tank is some what smaller and appears to be better designed with regard to structural
integrity. Before reading this section I suggest the reader refers to the fuel problems page to gain a little background.
Two Fuel Tanks!
Yes the Hess has two fuel tanks, see the pictures below:
