Message	Everything i ever read about the Injector recall on the Z31s was caused by the oxygenated fuel (alcohol added)That caused the rubber hoses to fail causing fuel leaks and underhood fires .I dont know why it didnt cover the 280z and 280zx cars they must have used the same hoses ???On another subject my snowmobile owners manual says to avoid oxygenated fuel .
