    325E Fuel Problem...

    Bought a 84 325e for 1000, its a project on it's own. But, for some reason the fuel isn't getting from the tank to the engine, replaced main fuel pump, been checking the lines, new fuel filter, new air filter, only thing I haven't checked yet is the 2nd fuel pump next to the tank itself. Can anyone help me out here? Let's just say once it's running I can fall in love with it, but until then it's not being very nice to me.

    After she's running, selling my daily driver a 97 Ford Escort ( I know, I know ) and I have some serious plans for the bmw.

    Any ANY suggestions are helpful, and great place you guys got here. Finally a forum that's only ( or mostly ) e30's.

    Having her not run really cuts me deep.

    The second fuel pump IS the main pump, the in tank one just transfers fuel ouf.
    Check it out.
