Fast Cletus Posted October 28, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2017 Just gassed up my new to me 240 z. I noticed a rubber hose leaking on the bottom drivers side. it comes out of a port in the gas tank then goes up. Is this just a vent hose? How do I access it?

siteunseen Posted October 28, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Look at his pictures, you'll see those two to the right of the sending unit. One is supply the other return. I believe all the vent lines are on top of the tank. Click on the top "duffymahoney replied to a topic". Or just click that previous sentence's blue part.

jfa.series1 Posted October 29, 2017 Share #3 Posted October 29, 2017 FWIW - Here's a pic of the topside of my tank that shows the location of the three vent lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted October 29, 2017 Share #4 Posted October 29, 2017 Quick question, which part of the tank gets the thick pads, the high or the low part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted October 29, 2017 Share #5 Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Here's my 240 tank. I can't see any difference in thickness but I know you have a 280 so maybe there is on those? Trying to get a bigger image... Edited October 29, 2017 by siteunseen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJ Posted October 29, 2017 Share #8 Posted October 29, 2017 Go here: http://www.classiczcars.com/files/ Download the FSM for your car. Look in the FE section, usually around page 4. It shows the routing of the hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfa.series1 Posted October 29, 2017 Share #10 Posted October 29, 2017 In addition to the FSM as recommended by Steve, here's a pic that might help with the routing, ...and yes, I managed to score some new Nissan vent hoses a few years ago before they became unobtainium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted October 29, 2017 Share #11 Posted October 29, 2017 It's the silver looking on in Mr Arnett' s picture. Above the tailight assembly and it runs across the width of the hatch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
