z or bust Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Here's a crazy thought.....push it. and if when you open your eyes your car is still there, then you can wipe the sweat off your forehead but seriously no idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temujin Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 We're in the process of stripping the 240Z and me and the guys have a pool going on what this thing is for. Does this mean this "thing" doesn't come stock on the 240Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Nothing more than a fuel vent from the tank...it's actually part of an assembly which includes the filler neck opening. There should be a rubber hose attached to the back of it (inside the fender) that goes to the top of the tank. It allows air to enter the fuel tank so a vacuum isn't formed as fuel level goes down.

Temujin Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Thanks Warren Does it function automatically or does it require to be flipped up being that it locks and unlocks with each pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I would have to say VENT. Does not appear stock. Normally you vent through the charcoal canister......EMISSIONS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 240Z's didn't have emission controls, so there won't be a carbon canister. The microfiche shows a rubber hose on the back side of that vent, going to the top of the tank. As far as it locking and unlocking with each push & pull, it's probably supposed to free float and has a bunch of garbage collected in it after all these years. I can't imagine them putting an open/close type vent on the 240Z, unless you put it in the closed position after you flip the car to avoid dumping fuel out...hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 That is not a stock piece for a 240Z. It might be some sort of hidden kill switch. Does it have wires on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temujin Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Work on the Z has slowed (just got addicted to airsoft hehe) I'll check and report here as soon as we get to the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
