My 1992 Xj runs for a while and then shuts down! I remove and restore the central fuse!

I start my Xj and after driving for a while it shuts down and won't start up unless I remove the 60 amp fuse and re plug it!

Sounds like a bad connection at the fuse panel. Have you noticed a water leak in that area as well?

If it does this every time, a guess would be that by removing the fuse, you are allowing something to reset such as a relay.

Are you saying that every time this happens, no matter how hot engine is, it will restart immediately as soon as you unplug and replug the fuse? Do you know for sure whether it will eventually restart after the engine (and under hood) cools without having unplugged the fuse? I would try this at home if no one comes up with a better idea.

Yes no matter how hot it is. I will try this on my way to work hope to reach there. If it does restart what might be the problem?

Mostly just another piece of the puzzle.

The central 60 amp fuse (#6) controls the ASD (automatic shut down) relay and the fuel pump relay. I would swap out those relays and see if it makes a difference. If you don't have spare relays, you could swap with the e-fan relay A (1st relay in the PDC) (watch your temps) and the A/C relay D.

Maybe someone else will have other ideas.

Let us know what you find.
Edit: It sounds like you already know this, but the #1 and #9 60 amp fuses are for the alternator output

Yeah, logically problem would not be gasoline fuel pump relay to start with. I don't know how LPG is plumbed.

Ok! problem fixed it was the CPS. If someone needs to replace it try under the car with 1/4 ratchet and a lot of extensions.
