Fuel sender unit gasket?
Hi All,
recently purchased a 280ZX 1982 model. On Monday I filled the car up on the way to work. When getting my work clothes out I was greeted with a strong fuel smell.
Closer inspection reveals that the fuel sender unit gasket is shot is leaking when the car is full, there is also 2 bolts missing from the sender user.
My questions are, is there a way to get a new fuel sender gasket?
What size are the bolts that hold the unit so I can replace them?
Also, is there a replacement after market rubber hose that joins the filler neck to the tank?
I look forward to your replies.
Thank you,
Manya3084

I don't think there is anything for the filler neck.
Not sure what size the bolts are off the top of my head. Pull one out as a sample would be the way to figure it out.
Check with Nissan for a gasket. If its not available it's easy enough to make a new gasket....

As for the bolts, I think I will use gasket goo as it appears the bolts have snapped and I really don't want to be drilling next to a tank full of gas :-p

Fuel tank send bolts broken
[QUOTE=Manya3084;342958]Thanks for the advice. I ended up finding a site that had old new stock and they were able to supply me the correct gasket.
