Wade Nelson Posted July 6, 2012 Share #38 Posted July 6, 2012 I know I'm eventually going to have to go there. Thanks for the reference.

tamo3 Posted December 12, 2012 Share #39 Posted December 12, 2012 I saw a photo from RatsunZ. Does anyone try this unicoil hose bender for using this for 17235-E4601, Large diameter hose with several preformed bends, including a 180 degree bend? Do you think it's safe to use it for vent hose?

nismospek Posted June 8, 2013 Share #40 Posted June 8, 2013 I tried ordering 17236-E4601 through nissan parts cc and they are out of stock. Is there another place where I might be able to find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacarl Posted April 10, 2014 Share #41 Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) 2014 update: These hoses are all getting very scarce. In the order that Arne originally listed the four hoses:MSA currently stocks 17239-E4601 for $37.08 (their part number is 11-3263). This hose can also be sourced from Banzai, I believe, and Courtesy currently shows one available that I'm in the process of trying to purchase.I have been unsuccessful in finding 17235-E4601 (which is the important one) or 17238-E4602.17236-E4601 shows up in one or two places for $90-$100 but in actuality I believe it's NLA. However, I did find 14mm ID hose which can be purchased by the meter from www.AutohausAZ.com, p/n N203711. It's currently selling for $8.83/meter and it's even cloth braided like our original hose. So I think that's taken care of. I think 14mm is the correct ID for this hose and it would fit better than 1/2" ID hose which is closer to 12mm.I'm pretty well stymied on finding 17235-E4601 or 17238-E4602, though. Anyone had any luck recently? Edited April 10, 2014 by bacarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GV Z Car Posted April 11, 2014 Share #42 Posted April 11, 2014 Tried to order 17235-E4601 and 17238-E4602 from my local Nissan Parts Dealer.....no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacarl Posted April 11, 2014 Share #43 Posted April 11, 2014 For 17238-E4602 I think I'm going to use 2 feet of McMaster Carr p/n 5282K69 (3/4" ID petroleum hose - Use with diesel fuel, fuel oil, gasoline with up to 15% ethanol, and hydraulic oil).I haven't seen any mention of the small diameter hose coming off the top of the vent tank, except for in Blues photos. Does that one typically need replacing too? Where does it go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280z Posted April 11, 2014 Share #44 Posted April 11, 2014 It goes to the driver side inner fender in 240z via a hard line. It is vapour line.On 280z' it goes to the carbon cannister near the passenger side of the rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteunseen Posted June 20, 2014 Share #46 Posted June 20, 2014 Would it be easier to push the hoses through their grommets then hook them to the fuel tank 1st. Snug the fuel tank up, then attach the hoses to the vent tank? I'm trying to work out a plan in my head and that's the best way I can figure out???Thanks for any past experiences.

Also - lube the filler neck a bit to make it easier to slide into the plastic tube as you raise the tank. Jim Phooey - just realized I am responding to an old post.
