trwebb26 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I recently took my gas tank to have it "renu'd" Before I left the guy's shop - he ripped off the pieces of rubber on top of the tank. I still have them - and I am planning on gluing them back on, but I need some pictures so I can get the locations correct. Please post any pic you have of the 280z gas tank with the rubbers on it so I can get them put back where they belong. Thanks! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagz Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I just happen to have the tank from my late 260 sitting on a workbench so, I went out and snapped a quick pic. It should be very close to, if not the same as, your 280 tank. You can see the four rectangular pads on top of the tank. I did a quick tank cleaning job in my garage using CLR, a box of bolts and my pressure washer. It came out better than I expected. I'm just waiting for the internal coating I ordered to be delivered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john kosmatka Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I just did my 280's tank. Por 15 style, marine cleaned and metal prepped the hell out of it and coated it with there gas tank epoxy, turned out pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trwebb26 Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 The 260 Tank Looks like a 240 tank. The 280 tank is pretty much box shaped with no big hump on the passenger side. Thanks for the pic anyways. Anybody have a pic of a 280 tank??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerrari GTO Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I still have mine sitting out in my storage shed. I'll take a picture and try and have it posted here tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagz Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Wow you could turn that into a 20+ gallon tank by just taking out that spare tire. Thats exactly what I did on my 240: Summit 20 gallon cell with GM sending unit. The 260 Tank Looks like a 240 tank. The 280 tank is pretty much box shaped with no big hump on the passenger side. Thanks for the pic anyways. Anybody have a pic of a 280 tank??? Tim: Yeah, I was thinking about the late 260 and the 280's being similar body and bumper-wise. I assumed the tanks would be pretty close... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
