Time for an overhaul of my 1.9 '98 BMW Z3 Individual

[Mazza]

that drain is fixed to the gaiter and clips onto the side of the tank
mine came off at the gaiter end and I super glued it back on

yeah but how do you fit the tube after the tank has been fitted? the route I saw just looks weird..guess as long as it's connected it doesn't matter

the tank was fitted , and when you install the gaiter the pipe seemed to locate itself , and from underneath just clipped it in to the clip on the side of the tank

I just did my Miss Marple bit.. and found a photo of said drain hanging out the 'ole

I found a picture of mine when I repaired it
That drain tube is quite long

showing off your long drain ... yeah I disconnected my tube from the gaiter as I didn't want to snap it off... so yesterday with just the tube tried poking through various gaps and none looked right. But it is just literally poking it where there's a gap between the tank and the body and as you say, pressing it into the clips. Now I've found the "before" photo I get it now...
