    if you glue the fuel level float in its highest position the fuel gauge will always say you have a full tank, therefore you'll never need to stop for fuel again, pro tip

    Wow, great job on the tank! I was surprised the inside of the tank looked that good. My first thought was to use a little heat on the cross-pipe; but what's life if we can't learn from a few random errors; lol. Using the c-clamp on the small brackets was smart!

    Just a tip, when cutting of old hoses from nipples, try to whittle them off instead of cutting straight down. Deep scratches can cause leaks if the scratch follows the nipple, if you go across you don't run into the same issue. I don't know how accurate this is, but it was a tip I got from an experienced colleague/mechanic.

Very well done, I’m glad I found this channel, gonna check out more. My only question, why not check the tank for leaks, or did I miss that part? Just presume it’s still solid based on overall condition? I feel your pain on the crossover pipe cost, I once had to get a couple of bolts for my Jeep, dealership only part...the almost always stoic counter guy actually laughed out loud and said “wow that’s an expensive bolt” when he saw how much each bolt cost on the computer, $40-something each...and he sells ridiculously overpriced dealer parts all day long and has for many years. Had to have it lol. The burden of those who love old cars.

    £170 for that little piece is outrageous. You could easily have gotten away with 1/50 of that, had you produced the piece yourself. You could even have used a rubber hose, but had you wanted a metal piece, you can buy them in any lengths you want, and shape them how you want, add the nuts and put the flanges on the ends with a special tool.

      Paint your blinker fluid red to increase your horsepower/waterpump ratio in high RPM and decrease radiator lag in low RPM. Painting your brake discs increases acceleration up to 30% (22C degrees at sea level) by adding more torques per gallon. Also, change your firing order to all cylinders at once for a 600% increase of power.
      I hope this helps.

    The foam pads are for „damping the vibration“. Because its near the body of the car. Nothing new. Also some new BMW Models have them. Oh and the small parts/clamps are not sold by bmw. So you wont get them. If you want new ones. Buy a new gas tank 😂

    Had a look on RealOEM for your clips out of curiosity and I suspect that might be an unusual tank, either niche market or not original. All the varieties I saw had caged M8 nuts for the mount not open slots. I'd use copper-nickel brake piping for the cross tank connection, no corrosion. Good job though, I can watch hard work all day.

    • @RestoreIt
      @RestoreIt  4 роки тому +2

      Thanks Shaun! This is defo the origional tank and in some diagrams I can see one of the clips, I've been told they are apart of the tank and if you want new ones, you'll have to get your hands on a new tank! which is kind of crazy to think. I guess no one ever takes them off. Thanks again.
