The other thing to check is the large o-ring that the fuel buckets sits on and you tighten the 6 little 8mm's down onto.

 

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.

 

The dealer did the same thing to me,so i said give me the parts and ill do it myself...................no chance they said so outta pocket $95 bucks.

 

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

 

its your o ring

 

Did you get it fixed? What happened.

 

*waits to hear something*

 

Had same problem...o-ring was put in wrong by Z1 in GA... took it
to Forged and Sharif fixed it....and alot of other things too.

 

im having the same issue i can only put 1/4 of gas after that , fuel started pouring out of the car, right in between the passenger side rear wheel, and edge of the door. i did replace the fuel pump, and just got today the O-ring from the dealer to see if thats the problem i do get lots of fuel smell " the more i hit the gas pedal of course

 

Any update at all? I just swapped out my fuel pump, pumped gas and spilled all over. Wan tu ng to see if it was also the O ring

 

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^^
