e_racer1999 Posted March 26, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 26, 2007 considered a fuel cell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zwhore Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted March 26, 2007 not for this car. its 100% original, so a fuel would kill the resale value, as it will be for sale if i ever find a tank.i do have my 77 that i am keeping. i thought of switching to a cell on that, but i just dont have the time to mount it properly right now. to many projects at once is a headache this[------------------------------------------------------------------------------------]bigthankstony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 26, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 26, 2007 Here's an option... take the tank out of your '77 and replace that with a fuel cell. Put the '77 tank into the '76. (sorry in advance if these two years aren't compatible... I don't know the 280z that well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cethern Posted March 27, 2007 Share #5 Posted March 27, 2007 I know the 77 tank is different than a 76/75. Weather or not you can get it to work I'm not sure.I know a shop here in denver has one but it needs work I think the pickup tube is broken But I'm not real sure about that. I would have to call him ask.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zwhore Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted March 27, 2007 tbk1- i need an efi tank for the 280, but, i do have several 240's that may need a tank as well.can you get some pics of it?i cant have any rusted pin holes in it, but i plan on having cleaned and reseales anyway, so rusty on the inside is ok to some point.cethern-how much? how rusty(see above)thankstony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deedee Posted March 28, 2007 Share #9 Posted March 28, 2007 I parted out my 83 280zx and I kept the tank for anyone who needs one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cethern Posted March 29, 2007 Share #10 Posted March 29, 2007 Hey TonyHe wants 75/100 for it. I think it's thats high for a tank that the pickup tube needs to be fixed. Thats why I passed on it for my 75. Just how bad is the tank you have now? I read where POR15 will fill pin holes and such. I'll go over and take another look at that tank just the same it mite not be as bad as I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zwhore Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share #11 Posted March 29, 2007 my tank is basically crushed on the left side. to bad to fix. i tried . it sucks to because it really clean on the outside, with very little rust on the inside. tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webdawg1 Posted March 29, 2007 Share #12 Posted March 29, 2007 You might consider talking to the guys at the following url:http://www.gas-tank.com/They might be able to help you out...I had a pretty good caved in area on the bottom of my tank when I sent my tank to them. When I got it back you could not even tell where it was damaged...don't cost anything to ask...webdawg1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
