JSM Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) I just pulled one from a running 77 280z. EDIT: Wasn't thinking on the 75 tank into the 240z. Anyway, if there is a need for some reason, $75 plus shipping. Sending unit included. This tank was nice and clean inside as well.

dhp123166 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) First off 77-78 280z fuel tanks will not mount in the stock 240z position whereas 75-76 280z fuel tanks will. This is what makes them valuable and their rarity keeps the prices what they are... Here's what I have; An EFI gas tank removed from a 7/75 Datsun 280z. 2 holes were PROFESSIONALLY welded ( some people punch holes to drain old gas..) and the tank was PROFESSIONALLY boiled out at the only place in the county that does such a thing. There is little to no surface rust inside! There is no varnish in this tank. It has been pressure tested and is completely tight. It is ready for use, or for the ultimate, could be chemically sealed by the buyer. There are 2 rather large dents on the bottom and the top is pushed in a little also. One of the missing insulators was replaced with layered and epoxied vinyl material. THESE DEFECTS DO NOT AFFECT PERFORMANCE AND ARE REFLECTED IN A LOWER PRICE FOR THE ITEM (I usually get between $250.00- $275.00 for one in great shape). The fuel sender locking ring is included. NO FUEL SENDER INCLUDED. Shipping cost is maximum figure (less for closer proximity to SoCal) and includes insurance. This item is boxed and ready to ship. $205.00 + $57.69 FEDEX Ground shipping Edited April 25, 2011 by dhp123166 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
