Subject: What adifference a new fuel pump makes Author: blackbeast740 : member since May, 2008 : 31 posts Posted on: 2009-05-24 06:13:00

The "Beast" died yesterday, usual place, centre of a major intersection, peak hour traffic, great. Towed home, established the pump was not working, now was it not working coz it died, or lost it's signal from the "brain"????????

This stems to my ask recently about the "magic reset", coz every now and then I was getting a slight stumble as I took off from the lights. Then it went away, then this. I really should have picked it, as all my Jags (V12's mainly) have done this just before the pump died, but they are external pumps and easy to "whack" and hear running, or not. The BMW is not so friendly, oh well.

Anyway, I was not paying $400+ for a BMW pump, even aftermarket, and none in SA anyway, so a universal in tank pump was "made" to fit, easy really, and damn the car runs "sweet". I thought it was a sweet V8 before, but this is SWEET. It was the original pump dated 10/1993, so it is fair enough. I might still do that reset one of these days mmmm.
