240Z fuel tank for sale. Be aware that it has a leak. Rather than get it repaired, I replaced it with a new aluminium one. You will see from the photos that it looks pretty sound, except for the leak, of course. I had decided to replace it so I didn’t bother looking too closely for the leak...

Thanks for the advice. I'll let you know what I do.

The petrol tank on my 240Z is leaking again. This is the third time in a couple of years. The other times, I had a it repaired and pressure tested, but I think now I have to bite the bullet and get a replacement as this is becoming too much of a liability. Any thoughts, recommendations, advice...

Thanks for the advice everybody, it's very helpful.

Re cracking, that's good to know. Re power, I meant that in relation to tubular as opposed to standard log manifolds. He was advising me to go for a log manifold.

I believe the manifold is mild steel, judging by the welds that have been previously done. However, it’s leaking in a few places and beyond repair. So I need...

I had a similar problem with my 240Z - filling up and finding a leak in the tank. The petrol was seeping through the seams of the tank. I had the tank removed, repaired and pressure tested. Cost about £180 in total. This was in W Yorks but I'm sure there would be places closer to you that could...

Do you have a LHD scuttle panel ?

Thanks for the advice. Got myself a Varta which fits very snuggly.

Earlier this year I bought a 240Z - my first Datsun. Car is an ex-California import restored a few years ago, and I'm very pleased with it. It is in A1 condition, which is just as well as I have limited mechanical experience. The battery is now kaput. This is a LHD car and the current battery is...
