Did you recently get into the fuel assembly? Im thinking its the o-ring too or maybe you set one of the 6 or 7 screws into the assmebly too deep and maybe punctured the tank. I had the exact same issue but i used a screw that didn't go with the assmebly and punctured the tank. Used a gas resistant glue and filled the hole with proper Nissan screws and used a new o-ring and problem solved.

I just got a second notice from the dealer on the recall. I've been putting it off because I to have a non stock exhaust (Borla) and was wondering what the dealer would do. I will have to check a couple of dealers to see which one is tuner friendly before I get it done.

either way they will replace it, my car has ALOT of aftermarket stuff done, and there was no problem. Just make it clear that they HAVE to do the work and they will. good luck

gas leak / complete shut down
hello, everyone.
so, last night I experienced the same problem Zridder19 mentioned. while driving, my Z just shut down. I coasted to the side, then smelled gas, and noticed that it was leaking in the same place. passenger side, right below the fuel pump area.
could this truly be the O-ring issue? the full engine shutting down is what caught me off guard. Yes, the fuel pump was recently replaced, but not the factoring O-ring. I have an 08'. Any insight/experience is appreciated^^
