Hi and welcome to my channel.
In this video I go through all the steps of the fuel system restoration, including the tank, hardware, fuel lines and vapour tank piping modifications.
With the underside repairs now complete, I am able to start installing all the components back onto the car to get it back onto it's wheels, first up in the fuel system.
The tank was in good condition but the usual areas of rust around the seams, these were converted and some areas removed to stop the rust reappearing. The vapour system hs been modified due to me removing the carbon canister from the engine bay, but the port still required a vent so I added a crank case breather straight onto the tank for it to vent out inside the wheel well.

The fuel system piping took me a long minute to properly understand! I think it now makes sense..

Excellent work. I will definitely be using your videos as a reference when i get to this point. One thing i keep meaning to ask you is how come you decided to carry out this work on an estate instead of an iconic coupe?

@BadE30 5 ай бұрын

Good to hear. About doing the work on a touring, I personally prefer the shape. I understand the value of the car may be less, but I am building it for myself rather than to sell

bloody brilliant mate...I'm just about to start the fuel and brake lines on my Z3 so this is perfect timing..I love POR15...expensive stuff but worth it....

@@BadE30 I've posted your link on my Z3 forum, so prepare for more subs !...it's helped me out enormously. I've done the Trailing Arms, Diff, subframe and driveshafts, was about to tackle the rear wheel arches and sills when I'd thought I'd nip back and do some homework !

Hello Bad e30, Really nice work and video, couldn't hope for better. I have only one issue, on one of the fuel tank protection plate, I broke one nut because of the rust. Do you know if the thread where you screw the nut is part of the frame or is removable?

@LearnToRace 5 ай бұрын

Great work especially on the brake lines they're a nightmare to get to look decent, there's always something unnerving about seen flames and sparks around a fuel tank even if it is empty 😂

@BadE30 5 ай бұрын

That was my first time to, was so confused when I first started. Took me a long while to get comfortable with the process. Also yes, I purged it many times but still worrying!

brake lines u shouldve made steel not copper if u want me to be honest but over all nice job

@BadE30 5 ай бұрын

@@NemtorYT they’re cupronickel, which is a mix of copper and nickel. This gives the best resistance to corrosion.

What tool did you use to bend the brake lines? I see you using a blue one and a black one? Can you share? Thanks.
