Neumeier Posted February 21, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2008 Hello!Can anyone tell me where the fuel strainers are in a 280Z. Is there one in the fuel tank, the fuel pump inlet, or both.I'm not referring to a fuel filter, I mean the strainer between the tank and the pump.Thanks!

sblake01 Posted February 21, 2008 Share #2 Posted February 21, 2008 It's in the fuel pump inlet. It can be removed and cleaned but be careful with it, they're NLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted March 27, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 27, 2008 Can you access the dtrainer without removing the gas tank? The pictures in the books are confusing.thxZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hls30.com Posted March 27, 2008 Share #4 Posted March 27, 2008 Yes, you can pull the large hose off the pump-it will dump gas so be prepared to plug the hose and catch the gas(with something other than your face and everything connected to it). If you are careful and use a stubby flat head screwdriver you can gently remove the filter...I'll see about posting a pic of the filter in a few minutes. The strainer is about 1 inch long, and about 1/4" in diameter(it has to fit in the pump inlet).Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomoHawk Posted March 27, 2008 Share #6 Posted March 27, 2008 Do you have a picture of the fuel pump mounted to the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webdawg1 Posted March 27, 2008 Share #7 Posted March 27, 2008 Slightly different view of the inlet nipple and screen... webdawg1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblake01 Posted March 28, 2008 Share #8 Posted March 28, 2008 Do you have a picture of the fuel pump mounted to the car?Why would you need a picture? I could take one if you really need it but if you jack your car up and remove the right rear wheel, the fuel pump inlet will be pointing right at you at just about the angle of webdawg1's picture.

TomoHawk Posted March 28, 2008 Share #12 Posted March 28, 2008 None of the manuals show you where it's mounted- only a diagram of the fuel system. All the crud and undercoating make it hard to tell what is what. There was no mention of removing the one wheel to get at the one end either, so thanks at least for that bit.
