Prevent Fuel Starvation

[Luis325]

Isnt this the same IE sells for $55?

I bought one from a bmw parts shop locally for $35 for my track car awhile back but , never installed yet.. They did have to order it from Germany and took 4 days..

Guess after 2 years it hard to get now?

Dooo eeet. I'm assuming you'll be out on the 23rd and 24th?

yup can't wait!

No, it does not work with a single pump setup.

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?

I don't think it's a huge secret that this is a standard OEM VW part (google the part number).

I'm unsure of where in this thread that was implied?

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.

I don't think it's a huge secret that this is a standard OEM VW part (google the part number). BUT, they do seem to be NLA from all the places I checked. I guess they weren't a really fast moving item so they've been phased out.

FWIW, they used to be available from many places for ~$25- hello supply and demand...

Anyone mount this with a single pump setup?

Good to see Guten getting these from overseas, since the stock over here has dried up. I can see Carr Ind. decided to put their name on the diagram we wrote up.

+1 on the above! Drove the Dragon in TN and was constantly having to stop due to this! Can it be done?

but rights will fuel starve the car from what I'm told.

Yup, worst feeling ever. Happens to me at Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, Lightning... I gotta get the 325i tank in my car to increase the range as well!

The description says dual tanks - is that correct or should it be dual pumps?

oops, typo, fixed. thanks amigo.

My new early-model coupe came with one and it's awesome.

You can run the car to almost below "e" on the gas-gauge as well. This is helpful for right-hand turns especially, lefties aren't so bad, but rights will fuel starve the car from what I'm told.

$70! I almost threw mine away last week.

I never get starvation.
