Georgia Flash Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I am in the midst of changing out all the old crumbly rubber hoses that go to my fuel tank and vent tank. The problem is I have a 75 Z and MSA only sells replacement hoses for 1970-74 tanks. Anyone know where to get more of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synlubes Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I looked in the VB catalog and did not see any either. Dealer items for those pre formed hoses and some high pressure fuel injection hose for the smaller lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Flash Posted April 8, 2003 Author Share Posted April 8, 2003 Yep I checked VB too. I haven't checked with Nissan yet but I imagine they will cost an arm and a leg if they can get them. I may take my old hoses to Auto Zone or Advance and see if I can match up anything close to what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Is it anything special, or can you just use regular fuel hose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synlubes Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Georgia Flash, When I replyed I saw that your car is a 75. I sould of asked what engine you have. If it`s NOT the L28 (fuel injected) then like Mudge said, "does it mater". If you are using the stock fuel tank, you might need some of the preformed (vent hoses) from Nissan. Keep in mind (if it`s NOT FI), you don`t need all those vent hoses. All you really need is 1 good size vent hose(from the top of the tank), a feed & return and block the rest off (again, if it`s NOT FI).

Georgia Flash Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 Yeah it was a fuel injected Z that is before I took out the six It will be a carbed 350 Z when it is running again. What can I use to "plug up" the lines that I do not need anymore? And, how do I know which ones to keep and which ones to do away with? I know I will need the original fuel line that goes out to the pump (electric) from the tank. I can use all the old rubber vent hoses if I have too except for the big braided one that went from the back side of the fuel tank to the little vent tank, it is not usable anymore. Which ones do I need to keep? Anybody, anybody,...Bueller, Bueller... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
