Potential Fuel Pump Problems
The Amigo Auto Repair team must check out your BMW to determine if it has a fuel pump issue. However, we can relate some common fuel pump problems and known issues with the BMW line. The fuel filter captures particles that would otherwise circulate through the fuel system. Although it may sound simple, the fuel filter can overtax the pump if it becomes clogged, restricting adequate fuel flow. Likewise, water in the fuel can damage the pump. As the name suggests, the high-pressure fuel pump provides the engine with fuel at high pressure. Failure is a common problem. The low-pressure fuel pump is inside the fuel tank and provides fuel to the high-pressure pump. Operation is orchestrated by the fuel pump control module, meaning that the pump can't work correctly if this component malfunctions. Any car can have fuel pump issues, but some BMW models have been recalled for faulty fuel pumps, including the 2007-2010 335i, 2008-2010 135i, 535i, X6 xDrive35i, 2009-2010 Z4 sDrive35i, some 2008 X5, 2014 228i, 320i, 328i, 335i, 428i, 435i, ActiveHybrid 3, and M235i.
Signs of a Bad Fuel Pump
A bad fuel pump can cause several signs that you might observe. You may notice a fuel leak that presents as a drip you can see or an odor of fuel you smell. If your vehicle is starved for fuel, you may have trouble starting it. Even if it starts, you may notice a decrease in fuel mileage, poor engine performance, including power loss and sputtering, and perhaps even stalling. It's also possible to hear a buzzing sound emanating from the fuel tank. No matter the trouble you're experiencing, the Amigo Auto Repair team can help. If you suspect a problem with your car's fuel pump problem, schedule an appointment for a BMW repair.
