My wife recently make an amazing discovery, that if she doesn't put gasoline in her XJ, her XJ will not start.

As far as I can tell, putting gas in her XJ is not in my contract.

I suggest switching the gas cap with the radiator cap. Probably got water in the oil. Switching caps will make the water go back home to the radiator. Just an idea. If that doesn't work, open the cap on the valve cover and fill it with gasoline. And put some STP oil treatment in the radiator.
