Question on fuel pump - removal of rear seats

[dinanm3atl]

1 - Is the e30 just like the e36 and all other bmws? Just yank up on the seat bottom and it pops off?

2 - See Here - http://www.bmwe34.net/E34main/Trouble/535ihot_start.asp


What line do I need to cut on the e30 to do this and what side of the car is it on? Anyone have a picture? Or description so I install the check valve on the proper hose :)

Thanks guys!

1 - Yes.

2 - I believe it is pass. side towards the rear of the car, but since you're replacing all your old rubber fuel lines anyway (right?) It would be the one that goes into the fuel filter.

not replacing the whole line... just putting this check valve in... cheaper and better than replacing a working pump. That is BMW made it available :)

If all you want to do is to install a check valve, that would be easier to do in the engine bay. Just insert the valve in the soft line that feeds the fuel rail.

3. You will need to place the check valve as close as possible to the fuel pump. Measure how much you will have to cut then cut it.

Anyone confirm the "outside" line on the passenger side?

1 - Yes.

2 - I believe it is pass. side towards the rear of the car, but since you're replacing all your old rubber fuel lines anyway (right?) It would be the one that goes into the fuel filter.

I AM NOT REPLACING ALL THE LINES... i popped up the passenger side and looks NOTHING like the pictures... I will snap a picture and see which one is the high pressure line

Also the high pressure goes from the pump straight to the fuel filter correct?

Correct, high pressure goes straight to the fuel filter, and runs down the driver's side of the car
