Infiniti G35 owners have reported 2 problems related to tank filler pipe and cap (under the gasoline fuel system category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
(1) very often I am unable to fill fuel tank beyond 1/2 full. Tried many fuel sites, can occur at all. Has gotten worse in cold weather-below (for so. Cal). It acts like a restriction in the fuel neck but none were found. Must be others with same problem. (2) often have to drive with 1/2 tank only. (3) nothing was found, no charges to me. Even if I wait a minute for possible gas 'foam" to subside,no help.

I am a master mechanic and have worked in the industry since 1969. I also performed acident investigations for merced benz north America. I now own a small repair facility in CA. And in the corse of makeing repairs to three G35 Infinitis (years 2003 and 2004) I have found the fuel filler hose cracked and brittle. I have a G35 lnfinity myself and have been keeping track of the problem. My car now has about 10,000 miles on it and the fuel hose is cracking. I have complained of the problem with the dealer and have reported the problem to infinity consumer complaint line. I have been told by the service manage that my G35 has no problem and he's only seen the problem on the fx. I personly reinspected the hose and found a crack, one which also can be felt , is about 1/4" long and half way throught the hose. I am very concerned about this and explained that in the case of a rear end accident the hose could repture, spill fuel and creat a pinto like bomb. I feel that the dealer is putting me off, and that nissian is trying to sweep the problem under the rug and is giving me the run around . I want your agenicy to be aware of the need for a safety hazzard. The fuel hose is not readly seen and I noticed the problem only after haveing removed the rear axle subframe for replacement of a fuel tank. My concern is that the problem is not going to show untill the is a high rate of failer, or worst, untill people start getting injured or killed.
