240Z: Gas tank disassembly

Yeah i finally found a little time to spend on the Zedd again and one thing i have been looking up to for a while has been the fuel tank disassembly, to see if i can reuse the fuel tank or need a new one… Before:

Up on closer inspection i found this “Derendinger” Sticker. It’s a swiss company specialized in refurbishing OEM parts or selling aftermarket parts. lets see what’s up with this later..

Removed the “Swimmer” thingy first:

Pretty corroded and i think it’ needs replacement:

Took a closer look to the inside:

Minor surface rust, green corrosion and black sticky 15 year old fuel on the bottom…

Definitly needs some rework but i think it’s in good shape for refurbishment!
At the end i also wanted to check the outside, so wire-wheeled some of it and then i saw the Copper-piece that seems to be from a previous repair done by Derendinger. But allthough the basig substance looks great! And just figured out Deredinger are still refurbishing fuel tanks so probably i’ll leave it there for some reworking soon 🙂
