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?

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.

FWIW - Here's a pic of the topside of my tank that shows the location of the three vent lines.

Quick question, which part of the tank gets the thick pads, the high or the low part?

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?

Where does the outlet on the right side go?

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.

Here's another way to see, I don't remember.

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.

It's the silver looking on in Mr Arnett' s picture. Above the tailight assembly and it runs across the width of the hatch.

 

Thanks all. Question answered!!
