Prevent Fuel Starvation

[Chris916]

This is great! Ill be ordering one shortly. What in-line pump do you recomend (on the cheaper side) Walbro?

Thanks! Ordered! Does anyone have a pic of one of these installed? Will I need to be splicing/adding new fuel line - or does it just slip into place?

Got it, already packed will go out tomorrow am. On the link there is a picture which shows how the lines get hooked up.

Fuel starvation KILLED us in Chump. Of course we can't run a trick item like this, but I wonder if we could fabricate one out of an old ice tea bottle, some hair spray, chewing gum, and a peacock feather.

lol thanks you.

yeah 87 has a dual setup. the accumulator works great. can run car down to light now on track without starvation.

[Cephas]

Nice find. Anyone know if this will work on an 89iS?

[Lof8]

Dual

sweet. Does anyone have experience with this part and can confirm that there are significant results? I usually run to the gas station if I get much below 1/2 tank on a track day. I would get fuel starvation if I was approaching 1/4 tank in some sweepers.

Hmm, I've experienced the fuel starvation before, but I'm not sure if I've got a single or dual pump setup. Any idea what I've got in an '87 325i?

You mean A/C filter/drier- the condenser is the part that sits in front of the radiator and has
fins on it...
>>kaboom<<< ... but then maybe appropriate for chumpcar...

yeah, that's what I meant.

Care to explain why? Just curious.

Would it work with the single in-tank that feeds into the reservoir, then through an in-line pump, to the fuel rail?

-Chris

That there is a dual-pump setup. Low-pressure pump from the tank to feed the reservoir, overflow from reservoir back to tank. Reservoir feeds high-pressure pump to fuel rail. Excess from rail goes back into reservoir.


Priapism - why do you say you couldn't use this part? ChumpCar allows surge tanks. This is the simplest and easiest way to do it since its all stock BMW parts. My solution involves a 1 gal aluminum cell and lots of hose/fittings. WAY more than $70.... Now, if you just want to get creative, I suggest the A/C condenser - nice little quart sized container perfect for distributing fuel.

up until 6 months ago we could get them locally, not anymore... IE is sending us their customers since they dont have them.
