right, when replacing my fuel pump is there going to be a gush of petrol?
Also, where are the fuel filters placed on an XE - also the regulator,
im replacing them all next week.
I know theres an inline filter just after/before the external pump at the back of the car but apparently theres a proper one in the bay?
Help appreciated as i dont want to fook me fuelling

never hered of one being in the engine bay.
the fuel pressure regulator valve is stuffed inbetween the top and bottom of the inlet manifold, just look where your throttle cable goes into the TB and its just to the left slightly

only a little bit of fuel will come out nothing to worry about
not heard of any other fuel filter other than the inline one, possible charcoal canister but not 100%
