Mr.Pink Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hey everyone, I'm brand new to the site and was hoping I could get some help. I've searched the forums and found similar threads but not quite what I need. I recently bought a 1976 280Z and need to replace the fuel tank. I'm on a budget and am trying to figure out the cheapest route. My question: Is it possible to swap the fuel tank from my 280Z with one from a 240Z? They both have a very similar shape and size. I'm hoping I can get as detailed an answer as possible. I have to keep car at my folks place due to my home owners regulations and don't have a lot of time experiment with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire604 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 The tanks for the carb vs FI engines are different. The fuel senders are different as well. You may be better off having your tank boiled, repaired as needed, and sealed. My 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
