Re: What a lucky day

Common problem in bmw, esp if you (oops, previous owners) pump when almost on empty

They did it before they post for sales week ago. There is warranty cover by one of our site sponsor and inspection result is ok was done 1 day before collection . Therefore i didn't do anymore inspection. Just confirm from dealer is fuel pumb faulty.

Interesting way to read...

I think what he meant was if the fuel tank is always almost empty, the fuel pump burns faster since its not fully submerged in the fluid which keeps it cool.

Change your fuel filter too when replacing the pump.

I plan to do a engine oil change after that normally include fuel filter change too right?

Engine Oil filter change usually come with engine oil change. Not fuel filter.

Oh bad, the dealer didn't cover the filter,is it cheap to do it outside?

Thanks Meek.

Basically, I gathered from a sponsor WS that our bmw fuel pump is liquid cooled. By the petrol itself. Best is to pump when low fuel lights up (ar 90km left).

If you always wait until almost empty tank to pump, this stress the fuel pump and it's lifespan can be shortened.

Hence, it's better to pump early and not run the tank almost empty all the time.
