Double_d Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Anyone know where I can get these parts? I've looked online everywhere and there seems to be no replacement oem for these. Right now the neck is just a rubber hose, and from what i've seen on here it's supposed to be a metal fuel neck that goes to the fuel tank. thanks. Another option is getting a new fuel tank.

metalmonkey47 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 For the metal hose, just get a piece of exhaust pipe. For the rubber, get radiator hose. Quote Link to comment

dreadni Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 The best way is to go OEM/NOS from Rods Datsun parts @ http://www.rodsdatsun.com/. Quote Link to comment
K_trip Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Exhaust pipe for a metal section is a good way to go (it's just steel) but I would not use a radiator hose for a filler ... the fuel will rot it! Get a replacement filler hose (it's pretty generic stuff) at any auto parts store -or- online: http://www.rockauto....e,parttype,6356 Quote Link to comment
sergio510 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 does anyone know where i can still get this ? mine is cracked and its the only thing i need to get it going again Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 The number 30 part is the one that is hard to find. The diagram shows 2 different number 30 parts. The one above and to the right is a one piece section that runs from the filler door to the tank and is all rubber. I believe it was on the early cars. The shorter one in the other section is also rubber and connects to a metal tube/pipe section and that connects to the tanks via a straight short section of rubber. This is what the short one looks like. This is what the longer one looks like. The rubber ones have be NLA (No Longer Available) from Nissan for quite a while. They do show up on eBay from time to time. Not cheap when they are available. The metal tube is on ebay right now. http://www.ebay.com/...49e5c40&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment

qwik510 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I got the short rubber one from a Nissan dealer. It was like $45. How long ago did you get it? Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 How long ago did you get it? I think a year and a half, maybe two. Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I think a year and a half, maybe two. I kinda figured. From what I have heard out there, they are NLA. Seeing the prices they are fetching, I kind of believe it. Quote Link to comment

Was thinking about buying a second. Coulda sold it to Datsunland SoCal, sent a kid to college. Quote Link to comment
sergio510 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 So is it worth looking for one or buying a Fuel Cell ? Quote Link to comment
LenRobertson Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 If you can find a decent original #30, that is the way to go. I checked with my Nissan dealer over a year ago and he couldn't get one. Maybe a different dealer might have one. This is one option: http://dimequarterly...iller-neck.html I did something similar with the metal filler neck from a 620 PU and a length of good quality fuel hose. But the flange where it goes through the fender isn't quite the right angle, so I need to work on that part of it. But it works the way I have it. Len Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 So is it worth looking for one or buying a Fuel Cell ? Depends. Do you want to have to open your trunk every time you fill your tank? Would you put the fuel cell in the location where the stock tank is now to keep it safe or give up your spare tire well and/or trunk space and mount it where it would be right in the way for a rear end collision? Datsun placed the fuel tank behind the rear seat so it would be safe. Don't think it can happen to you? How many people do you see texting, applying makeup, shaving, reading, etc. while driving? I sold a used long version of part number 30 for $100 about 4 months ago. I have seen new ones fetch $250 for the long version and $200 for the short one. By the time you buy a fuel cell and relocate the fuel lines, it is still less money to use the right part and easier to install too. They are out there. Just have to work a little to find one. Place a wanted ad on here and the 510 realm. Keep an eye on ebay. Do a search for "Datsun 510 Fuel" and "Datsun 510 gas" and search newly listed items everyday. I might have an extra NOS short one but I would want an arm and a leg to part with it. :rofl: :w00t: Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I just remembered an article in the DQ that shows how to install a newer fuel filler neck from another car. This may be an option too. Volume 6 issue 2 Page 8 https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0ByCvxnHNk90SYzc4N2E1MWEtMzg0MC00YTE4LTkxZGQtM2RjODA5ODA1YjU1/edit?pli=1&docId=0ByCvxnHNk90SMmMxOTc5MTItN2Q3OC00OWIyLTgzZDMtMzM4MTMyMTI2Y2Ri I hope the link works.
