Alright, I am thinking of throwing up my very rare Alpina extended fuel tank (10 gallons) from my E30 for sale.
I dont really use it, and I would like to see it go to an enthusiast, or someone who likes to have a few rare parts on hand to brag about.
I am unsure of what its worth, as searches on the internet turned up very few results. I am willing to let it go, but I am not going to pass this off to a lowballer or tire kicker.
The install is easy, but it will require cutting 4 holes into your E30. This fits into all E30's, apart from M3 and convertibles. This is used in addition to your stock tank, and does not replace it, or allow you to remove it.
Two holes will need to be cut into the rear seat back panel near the ski pass thru hole. Another hole will need to be cut in the top of your passenger fender well to allow access into the trunk from the fill area. And a final hole will need to be drilled in the floor of the trunk to allow the main fill line of the tank access to the tube that runs to the stock tank. It also needs two holes drilled to bolt the tank to the trunk of the car to avoid movement.
Apart from the tank itself, the only other piece needed is the modified fuel tube, which is included, amd is a direct replacement of your stock pipe. The install is easy, and I will offer detailed instructions to the buyer if requested.
It cost me around 65 dollars to fill up, but I could drive around almost all month without another refill. Pretty convenient for someone who does a lot of highway driving, or is too lazy to fill up often.
I will ship this to wherever you want it to go, but shipping will not be cheap, as you can already figure out. I am located in the San Diego/Mira Mesa area, and I am available everyday after 5 30 pm.
Please PM me with any inquiries. Again, no lowballers. I would like to get in the 400 dollar range for the tank.
Pics (the slight surface rust has been removed, and the tank can be painted black if the buyer wants.)
Modified fuel tube
More pics will be posted tomorrow or the next day.
