Does anybody know where I can find a gas tank filler hose? I've got two parts cars and one project car and all of them have cracked hoses. I can't get them from the dealer either.

Im getting a bunch of parts soon, from a wrecked B210.
There is a fuel hose on that one... I might need it but there might be another one in a pile of parts, that Im getting.

I'll let you know.

In the meantime... duct-tape

Thanks. Its a coupe so the hose is a little more "S" curved than the sedan but hey ya never know. Maybe one can just force it. but then again maybe that'll just make it crack again.

So I ran into this problem with my 1200 coupe. What is in the picture is what I ended up buying; it is a flexible fuel filler neck made by Dayco. Sadly I do not have the part number on the piece i have left over. I got mine at action autoparts. It ended up working out but my dad and I had to work together to get it up in there in that s curve shape and then clamp it on. I hope this helps.

Oh and I'm telling you this because as far as I know no one makes the fuel filler neck for these cars anymore.

Update! So I just went looking in all of my Datsun reciepts and found the bar code sticker from the hose. I kept it just in case I ever needed to tell someone. so
Part #: 80305
UPC #: 38244 15545
Its a Dayco 1 7/8" x 3' hose

I purchased it by the inch but you might have to buy the whole hose which wont come cheap.

if i recall correctly one end of the hose is flared a bit. (could be wrong) how did you remedy that situation? Or maybe its not flared and thats not any issue. I tried a similar product as you but it wasn't very flexable and ended up cracking at one of teh curves. Thanks for the numbers though..I'll give it a try.

Thanks for sharing. Now I know what to look for. I have a sedan and I'm on my last fill hose.

I think the numbers on the hose in your picture are enough.
They say that the hose "Meets U.S.C.G. Standards for specification SAE J1527 TYPE B2."

Example:http://www.jgbhose.com/

So here is the run down on how I did it, by the way this hose insn't very flexible either.

1. I bent the old hose until it cracked so I could salvage the inner hose because it had been protected all these years.

2. Muscle the inner hose into the new flexible one with help from a friend.

3. Now your going to want to take off the metal plate that bolts on to the inside of the car, the one where access to the screws is inside the fill door. There should be 3 and you might want to replace them I know mine were all rusted from years of gas dripping on them.

4. Gently put that in a vise so that the portion where the hose needs to go on is pointing up.

5. Pull a small amount of the innner hose through the outer and put it on the metal piece, if it feel like you need a clamp use the smallest and lowest profile type you can find, your going to need the clearance later. I didn't use one becuase I had to shove it on and there is no pressure involved with this hose.

6. Now the hardest part is, with time, muscle, and a little bit of WD-40 you need to slowly push the outer hose onto the metal piece. I know the original hose had cuts for the vent hoses but I didn't put the new one on that far because it only needs to make it far enough to put a hose clamp on.

7. Once you have all of that together now comes the most fun part, to get the hose into the car you must put the assembly in from the top down inside the car, if you have not already removed the vent box your going to need to now.

8. Put the hose in and have on person under the car and one working from through the trunk. (this is for coupes I'm not sure how to do the sedan)The person underneath needs to guide the hose trough the hole in the body while the person at the top pushes down on it.

9. Now to reattach the metal fill piece to the body you are going to want to insert a scewdevier, or something to pry with, into the end of the hose assembly from the outside of the car to pull it down, then put the scews in.

10. Last and easiest part is attaching it to the gas tank. Again if you didn't remove the gas tank already your going to need to now. So attach the hose to the tank and don't forget to attach all of the other hoses and while you down there you might want to just replace them like I did. Then bolt the tank back up.

I hope this will help
