The Fuel is In!

Last week the fuel lines running from the BMW hard-lines to the Ford fuel rail was finished but that did not complete the fuel system. Since this engine will see some serious boost it was necessary to upgrade the fuel pump. I have replaced the fuel pump on one other BMW (Susi's car) and can say with much authority that BMW's are the easiest fuel injected cars on which to change the fuel pump.


Step 1: Remove Back Seat.

"Oh, why hello fuel pump."

Step 2: Remove Fuel Pump.
I was busy soaking my self in old gasoline to take a picture for this.

Step 3: Assemble new fuel pump, reinstall.

Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump, some hose, some wires, some clamps, and a new sock.

This has been the second largest feeling of accomplishment with the car thus far -- the engine mounts being the first. This is actually the first complete "system" to be completed that allows the engine to run inside of the new car. Tonight, tearing the engine back down to try and stop those damned leaks.
