Try the Nissan dealership to look for the straps.

I Don't Know Why, But This Comes To Mind.



If Anything You Can Replace Until You Find Real Ones.

Someone in Classifieds HAS to be parting a 240 that would gladly sell you tank straps.

Dropping the tank is easy: 2 bolts hold the straps in place, and if they're rusted, you're gonna need to bust them loose... No cutting, you don't want sparks down there.

thanks guys...how about dropping the tank? any pointers or a list of things that need to be taken off first.

i guess i didnt read far enough down thanks alot and ill make sure i dont cut other wise it might make for some nice fire works lol

[baron_harkkonen]

Yeah, also make sure there is little or no gas, makes the tank a lil bit lighter.

I know for a fact Advance carries them. I used to work at the PDQ20 (Distribution plant in albany ny) In fact i just orded some for my friends coupe yesterday

So tell them to stop lieing and cross referance some numbers. Nissan is big on interchangeable parts.

Nissan Dealership when i went in july was 225 plus about 2-3 weeks turn around time.

Be baller and get a fuel cell. and some nice lines.

[SGT_Coene2]

is there a place on the east coast similer to west covina? ive been ok their site alot and im prolly going to get my new tank from them. if i got a fuel cell how big do they come id need something that could hold close to what the tank would hold. its going to become my daily driver till the snow flys

courtesyparts.com has them as well, along with every other OEM part for your 240 you could think of.

I've got a set off my 92 hatch that I'm parting...75 shipped and they're yours. Dropping the tank isn't hard...just put a jack under it and start unbolting things. There really isn't much to it.

that websites pretty intense. hopefully they are as good as west covina and the shipping should be cheaper i hope too thanks guys the advice has been helpful

Don't forget the screw in the gas cap area that holds the "neck" in place.

I made my own straps out of aluminum straps.
