I've been bending wrenches for 50+ years. Am VERY impressed with your presentations, expertise which has obviously been through experience and problem solving, and your teamwork skills between you and your camera person. I will be doing the subframe mount upgrade on a friends E36 road race car, and I am learning a TON from your vids. Your presentations are the best I've ever watched on You Tube or anywhere. Congrats.
We really appreciate the kind words! That truly means a lot and we look forward to making more content for you guys to spread the knowledge and help everyone go faster or just fix up their cars 🤝
That’s exactly what I was going to say brother before the author themselves did. Those are very kind of you to describe the video watching experience I love to see it !!!👊🏼 and ya it was a pretty clean cut video
Hello Garagstic! Can please confirm what the year and model of the e36 this was? It appears to be an early model car obd1 car and I’m trying to reference a couple houses and routing of them in this short video clip so I can guesstimate how much and what size fuel tubing I should I purchase to replace all the rubber lines that has to do with the gas tank to the starting point of the hard lines. Before i lower my gas tank on my 94 m3 I wanted to make sure I have enough hose and also the various sizes. I only have about 3feet of the 8mm(5/16) I.D. fuel hose at the moment. Do you know if it’s all one size on my model and year m3? Over the last 12 years of owning over 8 of these cars I’ve never dug this deep into refreshing and restoring any of my previously own e36s but this one I’m working on is a keeper and I’d like to have a piece of mind especially since I smell fuel from time to time after giving her the beans lol if you know what I mean 😁 Do I also need any of the 6mm(1/4”) fuel hose for the tank area if I’m trying to replace all the hoses ? And if so how many feet would you say is required to do what I’m after ? I only ask since the current fuel hose I’m purchasing which is the (gates barricade fuel injection hose MPI, it’s rated for bio-diesels , meth, e @225psi) is not cheap and I would prefer to have just only a foot extra of each size since I’ve already replace the engine bay hoses. I don’t like having excess rubber lingering because I’m limited on storage space and not only that because it will be old for the next project …
Hello! Our E36 is a 1992, 325i non-M model. As far as fuel line sizes go, I'm unsure of the exact specs but I would check realoem.com and refer to the diagrams on there to determine which fuel line size/lengths you will need. Realoem is where we go to refer to OEM parts and fitment so we hope this resource helps! Good luck with your restoration and let us know if you have any other questions.
@@garagistic hey thanks for the the brotha !! I’m aware of realoem! Thank you for sharing. I’m still surprised at how many people don’t know about that site and they call themselves bmw owners haha 😆 but ya I was just curious based on your personal years of experience. On real oem it doesn’t always cover every question ya know but I’m just going to go ahead and order both 6 and 8mm fuel hoses for the rear tank area. I just don’t like having extra parts lying around now I’m so confused on space it sucks

I'm actually trying to do this now but I can't seem to get the blue evap line connector off. How is this supposed to be done?
Shoot us over an email with photos over at support@garagistic.com and we will see how we can help!
@@garagistic I got it, but I learned there's a bit of nuance to getting them off. Definitely don't want to manhandle them too much.
Good tip! Glad you got it all figured out🍻@@macgroober1396
oof not looking forward to this job, may just drain the tank and throw welding blankets over it but the risk of fire scares me
It can be a pain but well worth it for the safety and piece of mind 👨🔧
Thanks
Anytime 🍻
