Probably good advice, Steve, thanks. You're talking about the Bosch 69412? That seems to be mentioned most often. Other than an in-tank option. https://www.ebay.com/itm/372954404615?_ul=IN

Nope. Not the hoses. Replaced them (with the right clamps, thanks Don) and it's the dreaded o-ring inside the pump, with the leak source visible in slo-mo video. Replacements rings now on order, per Luis' helpful thread from years ago: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/fuel-pump-leaking.15626/...

I'm half ignorant here, too, so based on my scouring of other fuel pump posts on the forum, this is an electric pump that has a sump/reservoir attached underneath via a bracket, for gravity reasons, and not the filter. Don's comment from 2017: "It's a reservoir or sump for fuel. Needed on cars...

Looking deeper at the options here. I suspect the second connection here--the cracked hose, right? I can get a 19-year-old to stand there and make sure with a faceful of gas, but...

Yeah, it's a shower. Mine is injection. M30B34 engine out of a 535i. The restoration is about 10 years old...so the pump and hoses are in that age range. This was after a spirited ~300-mile weekend event, but the problem didn't start until it was parked overnight. I suspect a faulty pump/rings...

So, this happened: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4OoFwB132Mk While my garage airs out, and before I stick my head up there, any armchair diagnosticians have an opinion on whether a fuel pump itself would leak this badly, or is this just a loose line? Thanks in advance...

Grand Rapids? I think he just surfaced on the FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/383550528727429/user/1833210416/

Thanks, all. Taking the simplest route, I managed to "adapt" some current X5 caps from my local dealer ($17 each). They sit flush with the wheels, but good enough for now. I will keep my eyes open for some more, um, erect options in the future.

That's my fallback. Actually, there are aftermarket Chevy caps that are in the 63mm range, but they're flush with the edge of the hole. I'm holding out hope for something with some height, like the ones pictured.

So, my tire guys reshod my wheels today and returned one of them with a broken center cap, of course. So now I'm in the unfortunate position of trying to source what might be unobtainable. First, I need to figure out what these actually are, if the minds here can spot them for me. Help? These...

There was this one: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-cars-sale/1116505-1969-911-porsche-s.html

I assume you've poked around the Pelican for-sale posts. There are several disast--I mean projects there right now.

It's a shame I got a lampengitter from the kids last Christmas, or I'd be all over this.

Can you folks share advice on where you're sourcing this tire from? I may need a new set soon, and it looks like CN36s are a foreign object with my usual retailers... Thanks!

Fat grip? It certainly wouldn't be a circumference for leverage...

Ah, true. I was being US-centric. And this IS the same unit I was looking at last year. Here's the album link: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPSHJsiJpn1dyisPusXjol26Q-XpIoZO9pykdLADFbzw79ANEsv6qTIcaWq3y4yZg?key=UFBxZEpXc21QeW5GSU9pWjF6QldtZTJZUlRmazdR This girl has been passed around a...

...the more I look at this, the more I think it's the same car, with wheel change and yellow film on the headlights...

Funny you should post this. I've had impure thoughts about exactly this conversion if I were to exit my coupe. In fact, I was in conversation last year with a NY guy who had an e30 vert with the same EOM componentry--the M3 vert that COULD have been factory. Here's a shot of that build (by a...

If he's so willing to light $5k on fire at BaT, it's hard to believe he's THAT price conscious. Or smart.

This bums me out. Getting on a SFO-ORD plane Wednesday, otherwise I'd show up to represent the midwest. Pescadero on Monday, anyone?
