Hi, it is very common on all models 1995-1998 240sx for the gas tank to leak. Due to the 2 straps the hold the tank in place causing pressure and rubbing it cracks all our gas tanks. This should be fixed because it is a safety and environmental concern. It happens on all 1995-1998 240sx models. Please do something to get this fixed and resolved.

Driving and noticed smell of gasoline. Parked car and inspected. Noticed that the fuel tank was leaking from a stress crack near the fuel tank strap. Fuel leak is obviously a safety hazard.

As I was driving down the road I started smelling an extremely large gas smell so I pulled over and looked under my car and my gas tank was leaking everywhere. It has a stress crack. No puncture or anything like that. The tank just started splitting apart.
