With regards to the fuel tank not taking any fuel inside and pressure developing in the tank while engine is running. We have already replaced the fuel canister but emission control faults are still there. One of the pressure relief valve was damaged inside and we removed the broken pieces. It hasn’t cured the issues and still pressurizing. Please let us know can we get new pressure relief valve or maybe a used working replacement tank

These parts should be available from dealers and private Jag specialist, but you do need to first diagnoses the problem fully, I would start with this damaged valve, make sure that the lines are not blocked as well.
