240Z Tank Modification


Jay Gadsby

Recommended Posts

I just finished modifying my tank to accept an Airtex 99-02 F-body fuel pump module. Started with using my shop-vac to blow all the vapors out :)

Then cut a hole in the top and welded on the VetteWorks retaining ring.

Then did a test fit of the module in the tank and set the tank in place to locate where to cut the hole in the hatch floor.

A friend donated a storage bin lid that I refinished to cover the hole. But I needed to build a base to accommodate the increased height of the tank + module + plumbing + wiring. Some 3/4" plywood, pieces of Home Depot paint stir stick and piece of aluminum angle  did the trick. I think it turned out pretty good!

Yep, took it for a test drive down to the gas station to fill it up and check for leaks. All's good! The pump is SOOO much quieter than the external!

Just what I wanted to hear (pun intended). Great work!

 

Chris, I have read his stuff over the years, lots of good info for sure.

Heres how I modified my tank. It fits to original place and seems to work fine.

That Speedhut fuel sender did not work with E85 so I needed to change it to sender with float.
