Touring fuel tank leak? Where to source another.

[pony2]

Hi All,
Just got my touring a mot, filled up with petrol and it is leaking from the tank. Question is does anyone know where to source a replacement. Had a look at Cotswold and they want 500+

Any help would be much appreciated as the car is currently sat in Brixton stinking and I'm worried about the amount of petrol leaking onto the road.

Euro Car Parts?

Thanks TPS about half the price from BMW..

This is much cheaper again than euros and Meatballs82 our resident ECP guy confirmed its the exact same part:

Thanks for the link, I can't seem to find it for a touring on there (55L). Assume it must be just the 60ltr?

[Rtaylor2208]

I take it yours is a 4 pot? That was for my car reg, if you go to the home page and put in your reg it will give you options for your car.

4 pot, how dare you. Tis a 6 and I did try with my reg but non listed. Thanks for your help, looks like euro car parts for me.

[Rtaylor2208]

Ah, I though all 6 pots had the 63L tank. I would give them a call as they did have the samller tanks listed a few weeks ago. They were a bit more expensive but not by much.

Pony you sure its the tank leaking and not the filler neck?

All Tourings were 63L, . I think

GSF were cheaper than CarParts4Less (ECP but online only) for the tanks when I was looking earlier this week. Both my 325i cab and 325i touring are 63L though according to realOEM and their PNs, OP have you put your VIN into realOEM?

Already had this replaced last year, thanks for the idea.

Perhaps someone could clarify what size tanks the tourings had. The tank was pretty low but no red light and the receipt for filling up came in at 44ltrs?

[pony2]

Think you might be right TPS, realoem lists 63ltr. Must be full of rust.. Thanks for the help.

All the info you need on identifying which tan you've got - http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/inde ... #Fuel_Tank

AFAIK tourings all had the larger tank.

Just to add a bit of further confusion, the handbook that came with your car infers (by omission) that the 1.6 touring has the smaller tank. Never seen one yet that has though.
