Pathy fuel drainage - Infamous Nissan

redness1 · 11-20-2017, 09:58 AM

Hey all I got offered an old pathfinder for free to use as a bush basher unsure of year model but it has the z24 engine. The fuel tank has been filled with an unknown substance and I am wondering if there is a drain bung in the bottom of the tank like the hardbodys have and if not what is the easiest way to drain the tank without removing it
Thanks in advance

if it is like the USA early model with the 4 cylinder, the fuel pump access cover is behind the rear seat. just pull the pump put and drain it that way.

I’ve never seen any Hardbody with a built in gas drain.

that would make stealing gas easy. im glad they dont have a drain.

Both of my Australian dual cab d21s had a drain plug in the bottom of the tank as I used them quite often to get fuel for the chainsaw and the mower

Maybe this was added to the Australian models.
