Fuel tank is out, Any opportunities to do something else?


Recommended Posts

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:

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.

I actually have the sending unit, locking ring thing, and o-ring in my shopping cart through datsun-garage.

If you want to modify the tank venting while the tank is out here's a thread you might be interested in reading;

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 :)
