[ImysE30]

There is one on eBay at the moment, they are NLA now

[psychochild187]

[psychochild187]

[ImysE30]

Most are rusty and leaky now, great buy if it's in good condition

[phil540uk]

I've got one in mine. Seems in mint condition too!

[Nay]

Are they designed to be a reserve tank or a spare? a Primary tank?

Whats the reason for them and anyone got any photos?

[harry_p]

theyre just an emergency petrol can, but shaped to fit inside the spare wheel in the boot.

quite neat actually.

i made my own cardboard box to fit in the wasted space to put a few tools and essential spares in before our trip to france earlier in the summer, would like one of the petrol cans at some point though

[Nay]

Will it fit under a spare wheel, or take up the whole space?

[Z3I]

I've got one, good to have on a run I guess, fits under the spare nice and neat, but no room for anything else. Heres how it looks :

[Z3I]

psychochild187, yours looks better than mine! Swap?

Harry, the e30 boot tidy is quality. Does the same job. Fits inside the spare.

There was a boot tidy too?
Pics of that?

Sorry to jack the threat, but now interested. I have a side tray bood tidy for where the batery would go in the 325i, but thats on my 320i and wouldn't fit!

[psychochild187]

swap na...unless you chrome yours first


i know its metal
but can you leave fuel in it full time .? say a few liters

infact ho many does it even hold?

[Z3I]

Yep, I fill it, and use it every, say 6 months to stop it going stale. I put 5 ltrs in it, and I think thats its capacity.

[Nay]

If anyone sees one up for sale let me know!

Ploughing the german bay now!

[psychochild187]

the first time i saw one was with a set of bottle top alloys on ebay . 5 wheels and the can
the went for like 10.50

then i found out the can was rare .. dam it

[On_a_Roll]

I have 2.

One in my car and one brand new in box! For sale...

[psychochild187]

how much?

[Nay]

Seriously?

P.M. me ratch if you do!

[Simon13]

i've seen a 9 litre one on ebay once, i'd like one for my 2 door resto one day!

[psychochild187]

id llike the new one as i am greedy

what i also want is the rear red number plate surround

[On_a_Roll]

You can buy the can new from BMW still for not that much but you CAN'T buy the filler neck which is a liberty.

£120 for the new one.

I also have 2 rear red surrounds lol! One's on my 325i killer and the other is for the right Cabrio/Touring.

[On_a_Roll]

Seriously?

P.M. me ratch if you do!

Think I'd rather sell to psychochild 'seriously'

[gooner1]

Lol, now that,s nasty, but Hey, it,s your can , man.

[On_a_Roll]

Nothing personal - it's psychochild's thread and pressed fire first.

Why's that nasty anyway - would you sell to someone who's been giving you grief from the get go and doesn't even know you?

[gooner1]

Yes, for £20 more.

[On_a_Roll]

I like your style.

[Nay]

I wasn't giving you grief!

Just amusing myself with stupid banter. It always happens during a 325i vs. Galvanisers thread...

I'll find one one day...
I wouldnt trust sending my hard earned to ratch any way. Not because it could be robbed, but because it my be spent on his iS!
