E30 gas tank vent conduit, passenger rear side (the one with 3 vent lines)...I removed that metal cover and those lines were freaking disgusting. Looks like OEM used some sort of sealant behind the cover that dried out and mixed with some mud from the rear wheel. Luckily the conduit has only some internal rust that I'm planning to clean/treat/repaint.
What do you guys do with that conduit? What should I reseal it with once all lines are installed? I can see how crap from rear wheel will get under the cover, start collecting in the conduit and collecting moisture. I'm thinking something that doesn't harden or shrinks and stays flexible, unlike seamsealer. Outdoor rated duct seal putty? Any thoughts?
