Fuel Pump replacement?

#1

Any tips/tricks/things not to do when replacing an e30 fuel pump (91-325i)?

Thanks in advance, Sean

Extinguish your cigarette first :silly:

It’s really simple Sean, follow the Bentley. I’m not sure the differences from my 87, but there are two pumps in mine, in-tank and external. Replace the fuel filter cannister and fuel lines at the same time. While that cannister is off, probably not a bad idea to blow air back through the hard line from the engine bay end to remove any crud that might be accumulated in there.

Age,
I do not have a bentley manual. The car won’t start and it’s parked on the street. I need to swap it before tomorrow so I don’t miss any track time at Infineon. With that info in hand do you have any advice?
-Thanks, Sean

Sean - I’ve got a bentley you can borrow - give me a call, I’m at my house in Danville getting ready right now. I have some spares too that you could use to test with. My cell is 202-7112 in the nine hundred twenty five area code
