I Need a Fuel Tank - Sources?
My tank imploded (negative pressure) and also leaks, so I think after 600,000+ km, the e34 deserves a new one.
BavAuto shows em for ~$650 plus shipping and realoem shows a price of $466, but I dont see much more. Any ideas? I would only buy a used tank from a fellow forum member. Anyone have a decent one?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

hi Dave, nick (Genfreak) just got hold of a wrecker 540 ( front end damage only), and maybe he doesn't need the tank. I don't know about shipping used fuel tanks to Canada but im sure he would do his very best if possible to help out a forum member. shipping from Australia would not be to hefty by sea I should imagine. Maybe PM Genfreak and check it out. ill be speaking to him next few days so ill ask. regards Matt

I have a feeling the combined sea/land freight might make this a bit pricey, but I do appreciate you thinking of me. If you end up getting speaking with Nick and/or get a shipping estimate, please let me know.

Too bad you are not in US, I have seen lots of good tanks on E34s at the salvage yards I frequent, particularly in the South where
they are rust free. Probably no more than $50.00.....

Yeah, I've checked wrecker websites and have a US shipping address (I'm <1h from the border). If I could see one to verify its good, I'd have no issues buying used. Someone wanna source one for me......

Apparently not. I've never seen a plastic one.
