I just buttoned it up after installing the BMW charcoal canister like I mentioned. Had the bumper, headlights, and fender removed to gain access to the fender bolts. So far it seems fixed, but it's only been a little bit of driving. While the fuel system was apart, I decided to go ahead and install the new fuel filter I had been waiting to install. It started up after about 10-15 seconds of cranking on the first try after sitting there dry for 2 weeks.

There was no apparent damage or dents anywhere, the purge line was clear (unlike the line from the junkyard 90 2.6). I had to lengthen the line to the purge valve since the new canister sits upright. The BMW bracket and clamp were used, and they fit the existing holes without drilling. I just had to bend the tabs on the BMW bracket slightly in the vice, to fit the contour of the sheetmetal on the 190e. I have some photos if anyone cares to see.

Thanks for the help!
