Fuel tank ground clearance


Recommended Posts

Same question to everyone Not too technical. I have been fitting a 280Z tank into my 240Z, The tank has a 3" deep sump. Ground clearance is the problem I think I might have, The car has been lowered a couple of inches I am told. Right now it is up on Jack stands which I believe is a rise of 9". Measuring from the bottom of the sump to the floor I have 15" minus the 9" rise that leaves me only 6" once the car is back on the ground. Now I know alot of people use these sumps for racing and what not but does this sound workable?

anything over about 5"-6"in ground clearance under a car is usually ok, and under 4" will work if your careful where you drive and what you drive over in most cars
