Post by kojo96 »

Pulled form a wrecked early e24 that had Alpina modifications in the 80's at a shop in N CA that worked on the car and was an Alpina/Dinan dealer.
This particular owner wanted to make the drive from Marin to Southern CA without stopping for gas.
KSK/Alpina at the time did not have any available and a custom tank was commissioned. It measures out to hold aprox 18.5 gallons and is a gravity feed tank so using it means modifications to the trunk floor to run the gas feed line and secure the front bottom.
The shop foreman does not remember exactly how it was mounted in the car (top brackets) but he is the one that removed it, the actual car this came out of is shown in the image of the catalogue.
I tried to fit it into an e28 and it didn't fit flush against the rear bulk head but did so in the e24. May fit into an e23, but a guess on my part.
Not interested in shipping this so local pick up in Union City preferred but I'll be happy to drop it off at FedEx for packing/shipping for you.
SOLD.
