If it's the fuel pump, take off the rear seat/cover and tap the fuel pump with a blunt object while cranking. I'm not kidding.1989 325is / 2.7, 274 cam, e30 M3 5-lug

Can you guys refresh my memory on something. My fuel gauge isnt accurate (~1/2 tank actually means empty) and I dont want to run it dry, but is it 12.5 gallons for the early models and 14.5 for late models? Ive been filling up around 10 gallons because Im still trying to figure out what kind of mpg the M52 does, which so far has been better than the M20 :)Simon
