Default S14 Fuel Tank replacements......

Hi all,

As some of you know that i was leaking fuel from under the fuel tank. So today we went to Macdill to take care of that by changing the three soft fuel lines that run to passenger side hard lines.

Anyhow, we changed the three rubber fuel lines that go from the access panel on top towards the passeger side to hook up to the hard lines there.

We put some more fuel in the car at the gas station and after that we were loosing fuel under all over the gas tank like a shower.

Now upon further diagnose those three lines are all fine......for that matter the old ones were fine too..... There is one more rubber fuel line that goes from underneath the access panel behind the back seat towards driver side rear and goes back into the tank. This is according to the s14 FSM FE section diagram from an S14 ka manual on page FE-3

PIC HERE


or link from here, last page, last picture.....

is that evap/carbon canister/excess fuel discharge thing? and does it have fuel? or fuel vapor? can that be the curlprit and leaking gas?

OR

FUEL TANK is leaking?......:o

I searched and searched and cant' find any info on s14 fuel tank going bad......(thinking at the seam as its two part)

all s14's have same fuel tank per parts manual that i have. I will double check that. I need to get a used gas tank for a S14. I got a lead or two. Anyone other leads you guys may have can be PMed to me and i would appreciate that very much.

We'll go searching for that starting Monday.

That's all i can think of as of right now. Its been a very long day.

Thanks to Jesse, Jerry, and Cody (who btw, got his fly/clutch thing done which was educational but working on my car at the same time, i ddin't have as much exposure as i would have liked.

Sorry if i made some stupid mistakes, i been up on few hours of sleep.....

Thanks

RINKU

No 240 tanks listed on the site........but i shall call them on Monday and double check......

Thanks man

Amazing how we upgraded a clutch and flywheel but failed to find that rear leak

We got the front leak though! Keep me updated w/ when and who is coming down for the install/fix.

You're getting the tank from Russ? We can always just patch it...

Jesse

PS - I dropped by the meet Sat. Night too, the lights were out and barely anyone was there. The Seltzer show rules aside meeting my 1st insanely idiotic SR owner. Young punks...

only problem is that check will be like 1/5 of the price of the car......they will pay me for a 95 240sx with over 150k miles on it.......

Hey, you guys think a Navan spoiler would look good on my ride? There's one for sale already in my color...

Do Navan wings go with koukis? I have to think down the road in case I do convert.

Jesse

PS - Back to topic, give me a firm date when possible and how many people are coming, I'll have the Maxima clean this time!
