1995 Nissan 240SX Complaints

AS IS COMMON ON 95+ 240SX GASOLINE BEGAN LEAKING OUT OF MY TANK SUDDENLY. I HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL ONE DAY I NOTICED THE SMELL AND A CONSTANT DRIP ONTO MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

FILLED THE TANK ON MY WAY TO WORK AND BEGAN SMELLING GAS. UPON COMING OUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE WAS A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER THE CAR. AT THIS POINT THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR WAS UNBEARABLE. GOT THE CAR HOME AND FOUND FUEL LEAKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE REAR WHEEL. LOOKING UNDER THE CAR AND FOUND FUEL STREAMING FROM THE FRONT PORTION OF THE FUEL TANK NEAR THE SUPPORT STRAP. IT APPEARS THAT THE TANK IS CRACKING IN THIS LOCATION. WITHOUT REMOVING THE TANK IT APPEARS TO BE A STRESS FRACTURE OF SOME KIND IN THE PLASTIC TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 NISSAN 240SX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS IDLING AT A LIGHT WHEN NE NOTICED THE SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE AND THEN NOTICED THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

AFTER DRIVING SAID VEHICLE NOTHING STOOD OUT HOWEVER, TOWARDS THE NEXT DAY I SMELT FUEL AND THERE WAS A LEAK ROUGHLY 1 METER WIDE. THE GAS TANK CRACKED IN A SPOT WHERE OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAID VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED A CRACK IN THE SAME FASHION. *TR

SMELLED GAS WHEN GETTING IN CAR. LOOKED UNDER CAR TO FIND GAS TANK LEAKING. *TR
