Bubbley11 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I have a 15 gallon tank, which is actually 16 but I would like to put a 21 gallon tank. In the manual it says they came with both sizes and I would like to get just that much farther. Im fine with my tank as it sits but I will need two more jerry cans to go as far as my local group can go, and if they carry cans; Im about, well let just say about 50-100 miles short of them. I was wondering if I can find the size on the car some where. I've looked but have had no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Path_68CJ Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Is there a way to tell by measuring the tank and/or dropping it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I have my old 21 gallon tank that I just replaced, I can measure it if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbley11 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Plz then ill measure mine, I just want to go to the jy and get the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I think you'll find that the vast majority of them are the 80L (21 gallon) ones. Make sure to get all the hardware and straps for the larger size tank, no counting that they will be the same... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Straps? No straps on these tanks. Just the bolts for the guard, and the tank itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Thanks for the correction, I obviously haven't removed one. This makes me wonder if the two tank sizes aren't the same dimension other than depth... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 That's about all I could think it would be. I figured the Z24 equipped 2 doors might have a 15 gallon. Maybe its previously been changed. We need Alkarohil on this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 There was a pre and post 1994 fuel tank for the V6. The fuel tanks from Nissan with the V6 engines supercede now to the 94-95 part number: P/N 17202-61G00 This is a 57L (15.1 gallon) tank. The Z24 had P/N 17202-41G08. It does not tell me the size on that tank though....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Man, I can't imagine how much it would suck to have a 15 gallon fuel tank getting 15-18 MPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) so my 94 has a 15 gallon tank? nevermind it has to be bigger, just checked my mileage records and I have put 17.2 gallons in it before.

I've put in 19-20, so I know mine is bigger. Or that fuel hose holds 5 gallons....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkorahil Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thats what the computer says...... I will try to doulbe check with the engineers on Monday Keep in mind as well that is the replacement Nissan provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I'm guessing that's why all the aftermarket ones say 15. Be interesting if that's a typo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 it must be a typo on the aftermarket ones because someone on here got a new tank from rockauto where it said it was 15 gallon but they said it was the same size as the one they removed.

adamzan Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Yes it was the same size. My gas light comes on, and the truck took 65 liters before the pump shut off and I was able to squeeze 70 in there, just like before I changed the tank... I haven't got around to measuring mine, been busy. I'll do it tomorrow. 15 gallons would suck. That is terrible range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 Pathy Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'll have to measure mine, or look on the box. I have a brand new tank I was going to put in my old/parts Pathy before I decided to use it for parts. It's already sealed & painted the outside with bedliner to protect it. Let me do some checking. If you're not interested cause of shipping, It will b ready for others..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbley11 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 It sucks I fill up about once every two weeks I don't drive very far but if I was too my buds would carry gas for me. I just want the range without filling up. I was just looking for a easy way to tell if it was the bigger one, so I grab the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I wonder if the pre-94 tanks are 80L then. I know my 95 has a small tank, only takes ~$50 to fill, and only have a range of 200-250 miles. But, I did just remember... My fuel tank is now out of a V6 87, as the original rusted out, and I just filled it up over the last couple weeks and it totaled about $50.

Tungsten Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I never saw a WD21 with a 15 gallon tank. I have an archaic 91 and it has a 21 gallon capacity too. I know this because I typically fill up from half tank and get about 10 gallons in there. Maybe Nissan did have the 15 gallon option for the Z24i and KA24E engine options. I don't know. Would be cool if the OP can show what his tank looks like in the rear. Sometimes the pumps just click off too early and make you think the tank is smaller.

Bubbley11 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'll try and get a picture. And no the pump if fine, ive dropped the tank before, and let me tell you I was the first to drop it, bolts were so bad back there. So it seems to me I just get a newer one???

Well they cant tell me the capacities, but they do have the sizes of the boxes they ship in and the weight of the tanks, The weight of the tanks may be a tell-tale.
