Wanted to buy E30 fuel tank in very good condition.  No rust or damage.

There are a lot of cars around with fuel tanks older than 1988 and they are in good condition.   I am looking for one.

I have one rust free inside and out, but it does have dents.

Try to get one from a facelift if you can - fits the same physically, you just need to adapt the wiring for the second fuel sender.

Better in tank pump (I think you can do away with the second external pump on a PFL), it’s a slightly bigger tank and has the internal syphon which means much less fuel surge when the fuel gets low and gets rid of the annoying external cross over pipe which you have to work around with the diff/driveshaft.

Thanks for your suggestions Jon.

It's a facelift tank. 150 takes it bare, 200 including both senders and pump.

I will take it bare.  I will send you my number in a DM and we can arrange a pick up and pay cash
