That is the first time I have heard of a cracked gas tank on an E60. How old is your car and how many miles do you have on it?

That's BS! It's not like you're filling it with a high pressure hose. Dealers say anything to try to deflect responsibility it seems.

2006 and 35K. Dealer said they had never seen it before. Kind of implied I might have overfilled the gas. To me that seems stupid. A gas tank shouldn't crack because you put an extra gallon of gas in it.
That was a poor response. How exactly can you overfill a tank?
If you overfill it, the gas spills down onto the ground.How far was the drive from the gas station to your house? Was it far enough to use some of the gas in the tank?
