Posted July 3, 20195 yr comment_578932 Found a leak in the outlet tube where it meets the gas tanks so I pulled the tank out. Only 1 EVAP line had to die to get it out. It'll be off to a radiator shop shortly for a fix and maybe a blast or a coat. Is there anything else you'd tackle while the tank is out? I'm eventually going to drop the entire rear suspension but the gas tank doesnt really seem to be too much in the way of that. Most likely going to replace most of the evap lines using 240260280z's and ConchZ's description and pictures: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/62440-fuel-tank-is-out-any-opportunities-to-do-something-else/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 3, 20195 yr comment_578934 The sending units are still available from Nissan as is the o-ring if yours is rotten. I paid $50 for both a few years ago if I remember right.

July 3, 20195 yr comment_578941 Here's a long but informative thread from awhile back. The last page or so is the best... I'm in know way suggesting removing the evap tank. It serves a purpose.

Thanks guys, l read briefly about the evap delete but didnt think it was something I wanted to tackle. (maybe I should since I had to cut 1 of the evap lines) I'll be asking the radiator shop how much it'll cost to move that elbow the other direction though :) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/62440-fuel-tank-is-out-any-opportunities-to-do-something-else/#findComment-578943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 3, 20195 yr comment_578952 That's the EZ coil. From all I've read they work fantastic. I went the cheap and in my tool cabinet route with those pex fittings.
