Charcoal Canister Relocation

[Martzedcars]

Here in Europe... we never heard about a charcoal canister! As far as i know there are no euro versions with a charcoal canister. I don't have fuel smell .. (Also that can over the fuel tank is not there on a euro version.)

Do you have a FSM for the euro 280? It would be interesting to see how they handled the fuel venting.

@Eurodat is looking into a 260Z FSM from Europe to see if he has the drawings to support elimination of the can and tank...!

I've got the 280zx S130 service manuals.  A 280Z  never came to Europe officially ..

All fuel venting is connected to the inlet tube tank.

 

[wheee!]

What about earlier S30 models? The S130 has the fuel sending unit on top with the vent, the 280 has it on the side like the 240. I am curious to see how Eurodat's 260 manual plumbs the system.

I don't have the ZX manuals downloaded. Anyone know what is the unlabeled device between 8 and 6?

Hi Mark,

Unfortunatly I don't have that section. Only have sections of the engine, cooling system, transmission and suspension.

I think you can workout the principle function from Mart's diagram. I know a guy in my village who is restoring an american import 280ZX, but I think he has an european rust bucket he is driving around.

It looks like the tank venting is completely different on the ZX. Mainly because it is a top mounted sending unit I believe.
