Trying to finish up the gas tank replacement on my '77 530i and ran into a snag. When reinstalling the tank, the hose clamp on the supply line is sticking up high enough so that I can't install the cover plate. I've rotated it as far as possible both ways and nothing helps. These are the same hose c...

Thanks for the replies! I hadn't thought about the change in the sender, so that info is extremely helpful. I don't want to hack the wiring or change to a different sender/pre-pump. The tank is leaking from the top, on the right side (facing the fill tube). Probably rust. The entire underside of the...

Correct Fuel Tank - One More Time
Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I'm still relatively new to E12s and don't want to make an expensive mistake. I need to replace the fuel tank on my 530i. I've read several threads, and am fairly sure I need the later tank. Here are the details of my car. 6/77 production fuel filler on the right rear...

...the charcoal canister plumbed differently in a 2002? Cory Yes. That scenario is specific to the 2002 because of the way the system is plumbed, so what happens is what I mentioned about the expansion tank would have to be filled, then forward to the canister. In the 2002, it is a perfect storm si...

Ok, hold on, this is completely wrong. Interesting coincidence - Mike Miller answered a question about fuel smell in a 2002 this month in Roundel. Here is the text. If the smell is raw gasoline: That probably originates under the hood. Does your 1972 2002tii have the evaporative emission control sy...

Thanks for the responses! Unfortunately, there is a small amount of rust bubbling in the lower corner of the windshield surround, which I know means there is more that's not visible. Guess addressing that just went from the "to do" list to the "fix immediately" list. I did drive the car in the rain,...

HELP - water in glove box
Hello! Acquired a great E12 last week. I have an intro thread in the "New to E12s" section, but can't figure out how to link it here. I thought my first new tech thread would be more benign, but we had our first hard rain yesterday since I bought the car and there was standing water in the glove box...
