There has been a faint smell of gasoline lingering in my garage especially when the tank is full. It turned out that the plastic float sender unit had already developed some hairline cracks (most likely after turning brittle from old age) and a small amount of fuel was leaking into its housing at the trunk. While its true that any fuel leak should be addressed quickly because of the obvious danger, the good thing was that the housing itself was sealed. A replacement part was not readily available and took two weeks to order but was installed today.

5/21/11, Bimmerfest 2011
Being full members of the BMW Car Club of the Philippines, Sergio and I participated at this year's edition of the annual all-BMW car show, Bimmerfest 2011.
One of the features of this year's show is a Car Service Clinic conducted by Bosch. Cars taking part were given a vehicle analysis and engine diagnosis. Although there were a couple of minor issues (1. faulty heater relay - no need to address since the heater is not usable for local conditions; and 2. error reading from the HID conversion - the headlights now draw less current than stock fooling the computer into thinking that one of the bulbs has burned out), I was pleased to find out that we passed with flying colors!
