Just hauled our new to us '87 E34-200. Over the course of the season I discovered that the tabs that hold the fuel tank in place have broken off causing the tank to settle. As the amount of fuel in the tank decreased over the summer I noticed that the amount of vibration noise coming from below seemed to increase causing me to believe that the near empty tank is resting on the hull and singing along with the m25xp.
My plan is to remove the tank and have it cleaned and the tabs re welded. I've read elsewhere on the forum that the tank can be removed from the boat in one piece and would like to hear from anyone else who may have done this job.
Is there anything holding the tank in place other than the aluminum tabs at the top ? Also does the tank sit on anything below.
