kcambron Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I bought a 1975 EFI fuel tank for my 1973 240z conversion. I did a test fit of the tank and it didn't fit very well at all, it hung down very low and didn't fit very well on the left side at all! Any suggestions? I thought other than the straps this was a good fit? Maybe back to the 240 tank with a sump. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 It is a great fit. Drop it, and rejigger it in there. You got in in wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcambron Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 I never had a 73 tank, will the 75 tank hang lower (show more under the rear valance)than a 73? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zgeezer Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I never had a 73 tank, will the 75 tank hang lower (show more under the rear valance)than a 73? Thanks Yes, it will hang lower: The tank on the right is a 71 240z sitting on two 2x4s. It will hang a bit below the valance: It also holds a bit more gasoline. The 280 is also a bit wider and the distance between 240 straps is narrower than a z. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 But it's 'even steven' when it's hung...at least mine was. Yeah, it was more visible (hung down lower, but evenly. It wasn't any lower on one side than the other...though the sentence now that I reread it may be two separate, different items 'it hung down very low' and 'didn't fit well on the left side at all'. I read it as one sentence lumping the two together in the same thing, as in 'on the left side it hung down really low and didn't fit well at all.' Which meant it was off those damn mounting points that stick down from the floor. Mine is a 73 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmogSUX Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 So will the 280 efi tank fit on my 71 240z? I just want to be sure...it's either that or I have to pay $$ to have my tank cleaned out and setup for EFI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rags Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 As Tony said, it fits fine. I'm using a 75 tank in my 71 with zero problems. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
