Desparate to find a 240z fuel tank

[cjcn2549]

I discovered that the previous owner of my 1972 240Z replaced the gas tank with the wrong one,and am in need of the original . Does anyone have any ideas ,or better still, one for sale ?

I've got a spare from a '73, but it's in Seattle.

Shipping alone would probably cost more than sourcing one locally, however.

I sent a PM to Joe Travis (GeoJoe). He can put you in touch with John Williams. I'm guessing John has several.

Thank you for your help. I am trying to rustle bushes around here , and if you come up with anything Steve ,that would be great. As a last resort ,may I fall back on you ,Captain Zeroes, if nothing springs up shortly ?

PM sent. John has a few in various states of condition to pick from.

I found a fuel tank and picked it up from a delightful man called Tom in Smyrna ;

now I have to get it to Sims for a flush . However, now we are into hoses !

And I may need help locating some of those.

Does anyone know of anyone who has a Datsun 240Z Super Samuri in the US ?

I used to have one in the UK that I never should have sold 35-40 yrs ago. And I am on the lookout again.

For the filler hose, get it from a Nissan dealer. I don't have the part number handy, but it's still in the system.

Some of the vent hoses are NLA. You'll need some fuel/oil grade hose to replace those.

Look at my website on Z cars to find a bunch of helpful links.
