Fuel tank

[tyehimba]

I am looking for q 1974 bmw 2002 tii fuel tank. I found a repaired tank, but it is an easier model and will not fit the space in the trunk

Still available new from BMW one year ago.

 

More details, including part number, in the following thread:

 

 

Reportedly soon-to-be also available, in an aftermarket version, from Maximilian.

 

Regards,

Due to Federally-mandated body reinforcements, U.S.-spec square taillight cars require fuel tanks with a cropped right rear corner.

A tii tank, esty, has two big holes in the top: one for the fuel sending unit, one for the fuel pickup. Thus, a carb car fuel tank would require modification.

 

Best regards,

And it's deeper to obtain the same capacity.  Level sensor is longer also.

The poster is replacing the tank in his ‘74 tii, Jim, so he probably has the fuel level sender and pickup for the ‘74 tank.

I have a clean (no holes or leaks) tank that came out of my 73 tii. If you think this will work for you let me know.  TR

TR,

 

If it was the original tank for your ‘73, or an exact replacement for your ‘73’s original tank, it will not fit a U.S. 1974 as it will not have the cropped right rear corner needed to accommodate the 1974 and later body reinforcements. On the other hand, the cropped-corner tanks will fit in round taillight cars, and BMW was even offering the cropped-corner tii tanks for earlier tii’s.
