Title: Germa fuel tap .
Post by: Bob_Roller on November 02, 2012, 05:52:05 PM

Anyone with a Germa fuel tap, the small fiber ring or gasket that goes between the 17mm nut and the tap body, the gasket or ring is no longer avaiable from BMW .

Found them at a home improvement store in their prepackaged hardware section .

They need a bit of outer diameter reduction to work properly .

Germa fuel tap, the fuel line comes out at the 6 o'clock position .
