  • Observe relevant safety legislation pertaining to your area.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation.
  • Use exhaust extraction system where applicable (alleviate fumes).
  • Do not operate the fuel pump unless it is properly installed in the fuel tank and is submersed in the fuel (fuel lubricates the pump).
  • Always wear adequate protection clothing including eye protection.
  • Use caution when working around a hot engine compartment.
  • During fuel system repair that involves "sealing rings" always replace them with new copper rings only.
  • BMW does not recommend any unauthorized modifications to the fuel system. The fuel system is designed to comply with strict federal safety and emissions regulations.
  • Fuel quality should always be considered when diagnosing a driveability complaint. The type of fuel, proper AKI rating, impurities and moisture are not factored by the ECM.
