    Ah, that makes sense. I have only worked on late model 6 cylinder fuel systems, but knew there were some differences between models.

    Already fixed. Also, which e30 has the fuel filter in the engine bay?

    Have a few fire extinguishers handy and have a friend prime the fuel pump while you look for leaks. Shouldn't need the extinguishers... just in case, you know?

    Or it just popped (poped!) a leak, what with being 20- odd years old.

    But it's a hands- on, no- smoking sort of diagnosis.
