Right prob number one:
fuel leaking from tank when filled right up, all hoses tight and sealed, and tank solid as a rock where the filler neck goes in, but its only seems to leak around the filler area in the tank.
second will an early set of 325i clocks work fine and dandy in my 89 facelift 320i?
Cheers Mark.

Fuel tank rusts through on the little filler stub itself and very close to the stub. The rest of the tank will be in perfect order.
Other leak sources are a split O ring under the fuel pump fixing and the fuel filler pipe from the petrol cap down to the tank
