Datsun 1200 in most parts of the world vents the fuel tank to the atmosphere. A simple hose loop goes from the filler tube up above the tank and back down towards the ground. The loop is to prevent a siphoning effect. Datsun 1200 in most parts of the world vents the fuel tank to the atmosphere.

Datsun 1200 uses a 38 or 40 liter petrol tank.

Contents

Capacity

  • Sedan: (40 liter, 10.5 US gal)
  • Coupe: (38 liter, 10 US gal)
  • Wagon: (38 liter, 10 US gal)

Mounting

Sedan tank is inside boot, just behind rear seat:

Fuel Sender

The fuel level 'sender' is the sensor in the tank.

See main article: Fuel Sender

Return Line

Starting in 1975, North American B210s were fitted with a fuel return line. Here's what the Nissan publication "Introduction of Datsun B210 (1975 model)" says:


Fuel return system

For preventing abnormal fuel temperature rise, the fuel return system has been installed. In this system, fuel from the fuel tank is delivered to both the carburetor and fuel tank.

The fuel return line services to return a part of the fuel to the fuel tank to suit different engine operating requirements, preventing the possibility of fuel heated flowing through the fuel line inside the engine compartment, and elminating "percolation" inside the carburetor.

Venting

Datsun 1200 in most parts of the world vents the fuel tank to the atmosphere. A simple hose loop goes from the filler tube up above the tank and back down towards the ground. The loop is to prevent a siphoning effect.

  • 3527.jpg 3528.jpg 3529.jpg

EVAPO

In Australia after 1978, and Japan after 1974, and all years in North America 1200s used the Evaporative emissions control system.

With EVAPO, the tank is not vented directly to the air. Instead, fumes are captured by the Evaporate Emission control (EVAPO) system. For details, see Fume Control.

Sedan

Note that the USA B110 sedan tank uses a 2-piece filler hose (there's a small hose inside the bigger one). This is for the EVAPO (emissions market) vehicles:

Parts Sources

  • Nissan. In North America, call Ericksen Nissan's toll-free number. If Ericksen says they can't get a part let us know (click "Edit" and add it to this article). Also, if they do get the part for you, let us know that too!
    • NOTE: Nissan USA is out of stock forever of the Sedan hose. But perhaps they can get the Coupe hose.
  • Wreckers, if you can find a 1200 in a wrecking yard
  • Friends with parts cars
  • Marine supply stores, for general fuel hose and filler hose. NAPA and other old-line auto parts store carry this generic fuel-rated hose also. Trimmed to length using the old filler hose as a guide. It is tough getting it to flex into shape, but can be done.
