chrism Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Does anyone know what year this fuel tank fits for 280Z. I need one for a 1975. Mine leaks and has thin spots. I nudged it with the jack and it started leaking in several spots. Owner is not sure if it is for 75/76 or 77/78. Don't see anything with search. PART # 17201-N4201.

chrism Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 Ya, Thats the one. Price looks good but Min bid has not been reached yet. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Pricey minimum I see, not sold at $232... Just looking at it the seller should be able to have discerned the thing was from an early 280Z (up to 6/76). The later tanks do not have the '1/3-2/3 bulge' so pronounced. If you are looking for one in the future, that is they type of look you want. The later tanks are much 'thicker' on the 'thin' part of the tank, by about 1/3 more, about twice as thick as the tank shown in that e-bay ad is.

chrism Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. For now, we will see how long the JB Weld holds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
