Hello guys. I just want to thank Scott H, BimmerNutEd, BrandonJ, Bimmerdood, JR M5, and anyone else that helped me put in my tank. Without you guys I probably would have worried the whole way home thinking we were going to explode lol. Ed, my deepest thanks for the use of your tank, I will have to think of some way to repay you. The meet was great, most of your cars put mine to shame lol. Once again, I just want to say thank you guys for your immense hospitality and expanding my knowledge on e34 repair. Thanks a million, Andrew

I gave him that tank from my wrecked 535 for free! You needed it a LOT more than anything he had planned for it. Let us know how the tank works out, and make sure you watch it to make sure it's not cavitating/imploding!

Yeah, I checked the the tank evertime we stopped for gas on the way home. btw, I'm sooooo jealous of the projector ;) .

I prefer the cool projects and the friends over the projector....I barely use it....unless people are over for a movie or some GT4 :)

Just communicated with Bill R about the situation.....

"What actually happens is that there is a one way check valve and a pressure relief valve in the gas cap.. The check valve allows air to be sucked in, but won't let it out... as the electrical fuel pump pumps the fuel out, it creates a vacum in the tank and the check valve in the cap lets it draw air in the replace the fuel thats pumped out.. The canister and the and the vacum valve up front also play a role.

If that check valve on the gas cap is bad, it can't draw outside air in... If you crack the cap and hear suction rather than pressure then you likely have a bad gas cap......"

So now you know what to watch for. Gas caps are cheap and I still have my old one from that tank.....let me know if you need it dude! Let's make sure this tank doesn't cause any problems.

my eyes!!! you should take that pic down....that's like a dog laying down and showin his nuts in the park.
for such a fine looking silber vehicle with the proper mirrors, there needs to be ten manlier more alpha poses to make up for that one.

Andrew, I've gotta say your dad is a real stand-up guy to ride with you all the way from New Jersey and hang in with you through the ups and downs of the trip. AND then help to patch the gas tank. You're a lucky guy to have him on your side.

[Scott H]

cool excuse to take a road trip together. I wish my dad and I were better at setting aside time like that....it will only get harder as you get older. When I was 18 and if that were my dad, he would have turned around and went right back home.....

Thanks guys. Yeah, I will agree that my Dad is a great guy. Although he's not really interested in thse cars as much as I am, he understands my hobby. He aslo went because of all the times I went on family vacations and went with him when he runs marathons. Scott, how much do you want for the cap? I highly doubt mines broken, but it can't hurt anyway. Thanks, Andrew

I got hassled all afternoon for parking on top of your gas puddle. People thought it was mine, or pretended to think so to give me a hard time.

Glad you got it sorted, man. That's one sweet ride you got.

thanks man. It's alright, but it needs work. I want to get it re-painted, but funds just aren't available. Your paint looked superb though ;) .

You must be confusing my car for someone else's.
