Just preventative maintenance, but you may as well change the fuel sender gasket while you're at it. Cheap and easy, just twist it out and change the gasket.

...and all rubber gas hoses, check the gas tank vapor tank and it's

hoses also. Got Good Gas Cap Seal ?

everything is available from vendors as well as any bmwdealer

in the USA. Really

Filler boot went to stupid pricing. Somewhere around $65 now. Mine is failing on my car. Sadly, it was just replaced 3 or 4 years ago.

Blunt- any word on that substitute we thought of?

[tloguzzo]

87.00 dollars at my dealer

CD -- did Tiis have an activated carbon filter -- or did it only have the vapor expansion tank?

[Collinster742002]

Supposedly they did.
