Floorless240z Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Howdy. I recently bought my 5th Z, (consecutive not concurrent sadly) a 73 240. It had a fuel leak from the vapor expansion tank to the fuel tank, and it looks like all the lines are ready for replacement. However, the tank doesn't seem to fit. It was just hanging there with 2 random screws, and the bottom right mounting point is ~2" away from the bracket on the 1/4 panel. Is there supposed to be a spacer there? The expansion tank looks like metal, I believe the early model was plastic, does that rule out the possibility of it being the wrong tank? Also, where is that top left hose supposed to route to, it's just blocked off on my car? Thanks in advance for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 It might not rule out the the wrong tank, unless the 260z and 280z's have the same metal tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floorless240z Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Also is there anywhere reasonably priced for these fuel lines and grommets? Most of the lines I can get universal but the grommets I'll need to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 You can also delete the tank altogether, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floorless240z Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Anyone else familiar with any variance in vapor expansion tanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beermanpete Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 That looks the same as my '73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetsaz Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Early Z's did have a plastic tank. I have a 71 I can measure for you if you want to compare your mounting points to mine and the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
