ezzzzzzz Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Has anyone tried this? I purchased a '90 240SX at auction for $216.00 delivered. It was trashed up front but has a nice Pioneer CD/MP3/FM stereo and the complete rear dics brake assemblies for my disc conversion. There's also the 2.4 ltr. 12 valve and 5-speed gearbox. Anyhow, I've got a LS1 in the garage for a possible conversion. The stock 240SX tank has the internal pump and is similiar in shape to the 240Z. I have considered pulling the tank for install in the 240Z. The pump could be swapped out for a low pressure unit to feed the triple Dellortos and later a HV pump for the LS1. Has anyone given this thought or actually tried it? I have no desire to gut the spare tire well for a fuel cell or LS1 tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 I pulled the 240SX fuel tank today and laid it next to a spare 240Z tank. The 240SX tank is slightly longer, deeper and has a little less height but it's very close to fitting, I think. The height would allow for clearance of the pump assembly fittings and wiring. The straps appear to be in the same location and the tank narrows towards to drivers side to clear the exhaust. The worse seems to be the rear passenger corner where the tank bulges out and might interfere with sheet metal. With little or no modification it should be very doable. The upside is you can keep the spare tire well intact, it has the internal pump assembly and it looks like it belongs. Some finesse would allow the use of any pump needed to feed carbs or FI. If someone in the Hampton roads area of Virginia reads this and has a 240Z without a tank installed we could get together for a trial and error fit. I'd love to get rid of that noisy external fuel pump feeding my 2.4 liter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BrandenZ Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Any update on this? It would be an amazing quick-fix for us unbaffled 240 guys. I too am weary of taking a sawzell to the spare-tirewell and would certainly welcome a less severe solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
