Hi I am a long time watcher for tips and what not but this is my first post. I am wondering how to move the gas intake (might not be the right terminology). I am in the process of making a wide body kit for my 280z and just realized I covered up the gas cap and need to move it out, but I have no idea how, any tips would be great thanx. rockon.gif

I relocated my fuel filler door to behind my license plate. 80's Camaro's had license plates that flipped up I got the bracket from a junkyard. Pic of rear gas filler

 

I make a box for the stock fuel filler but if you don't want to weld, cut a hole behind the license plate and use a Cool Cap fuel. Check out page 35 in online catalog

For a while I moved the fuel door back to the side and used a motorcycle fuel door but it messed up car's clean look. Since then, I redid my taillights (89 300zx) and I bought a Hagan fuel door kit. Now the fuel door is between the tailights. Here is their website.

Do a search on "fuel cells" and you should see some good implementations.

 

My personal favorite was the guy who hinged his rear license plate and put a filler tube into his fuel cell from there. This allows dual exhaust running out each rear corner. Also NAPA sells fuel filler tubing, both flexible and rigid.
