I know a couple of people on here have done them - @zedonist for one. I'm sure Rich will confirm how difficult it is, but I did find this reference from him in another post...

fuel tank straps a little more difficult but doable

I remember this on the site by @Lee https://zroadster.org/articles/bmw-z3-petrol-tank-rattle-solved.78/ I hope the article is of use can do a few other jobs at the same time.

I did this when I changed the rear bushes. It was easy as the rear axle was out.

Thanks Guys,I was rather hoping someone had a solution that doesn't involve a huge amount of dismantling or I am going to have to take it in . I've already put it to my local garage but they seem not to be interested. This could mean they think it's too difficult for them or its a quick fix that they can't be bothered with.I'm hoping it's the latter.

Anyone else please?
