    External fuel pump check valve?

    I've heard that there an external check valve that BMW released for the E32 750i, and that it can be retrofitted to an e30 if the internal check valve goes bad. I looked at BMA and Pelican, and I couldn't find any part like that. Has anyone ever heard of this fix?

    firstly how do you know the check valve is faulty?

      The engine cranks for a long time before it fires. The fuel pressure is fine, the injectors don't leak, and the fuel pressure drops right away when the engine is shut off.

        The part number is 16-14-9-068-988, and it is about $8-9 at the dealer. I had the exact same problem you did and installed this a week or so ago. The car now fires quickly and I have not had to crank the engine 10+ times once. This includes the valve, a length of hose, and a protective cover. I installed it at the output of the fuel pump, right at the tank.

          what does it drop to and how long does it take?

            It drops to 0 in probably 5 seconds.

              Cool, this is what I was looking for. I think I read about it on an e34 site, but instead of giving the BMW part number, they just had a link to BMA Parts or something, and BMA doesn't list it on their site anymore.
