FS: Ideal fuel pump for EFI conversion: SOLD

[Grover]

I have a used fuel pump from a late E30 318is (the one that came with the M42 motor) that is considered to be the ideal fuel pump for those doing a MegaSquirt type converion. It has the correct depth for the 2002 fuel tank (so your gauge will read the correct fuel level) and also has a built in return line. I bought this from Blunt a few months ago but it turns out I don't need it. $100 shipped. trichardson AT clifbar DOT com.

since you have one out of a tank, could you measure the actual depth of the pick up from the mounting surface to bottom of pick up? trying to put together actual data on the depths of all the various pickups.

thanks!

I could be mistaken but I think these are only the correct length for early fuel tanks. The late fuel tanks are deeper and therefore this pickup is a little short for it.

please correct me if I'm wrong, I have one and am under the impression that I need to lengthen the pickup but haven't had time to measure it yet.

that is partially what i am trying to figure out. e30's all used the same fuel tanks in the later years. e30 tanks are same part number, but the pump is a different part number. why would just the e30 318 have a deeper pick up that any other e30? would like to sort fact from fiction with actual measurements.

I went ahead and measured the pump from the base of the mounting surface (essentially where it lies on top of the fuel tank) to the bottom of the filtered pick up, and I'd say that total depth is approximately 8 1/4". Curious to know how that compares with what you guys have found.

I'll take it if it's still available.

The pump is currently sale pending to 2002John. Mike B., I'll keep you posted if it doesn't work out for some reason. Thanks folks.

I never knew the e30 318is fuel pump fit into the 2002s. Is there any modification required?

Thanks man.

[M3M3]

nope. drops right in the hole in tank. (for MFI/EFI use only....)

for reference, the depth of stock 2002 fuel pick up is 8.75in. about a half in deeper than a 318is pickup.

I've heard it's the 325i and 318is fuel pumps. Also the '91 volvo 740's and possibly the 940's(should be the same as the '91 740). I have seen the same fuel pump advertised as working in both the 318is and '91 740. I've got a few volvo ones I can measure, but not a '91...

anyone have a non-318is e30 pump they can measure?

the other pump in the pic i posted is the e30 m3 low pressure pump. looks to be about same depth as the 318is one.
