Two of the most important elements in preventing emissions and drivability problems are fuel pressure and fuel flow. Of course, the amount of fuel pressure and fuel flow would depend upon the type of injection system installed on your car. More than that, you must ensure that all the components comprising your fuel injection system is in its perfect working condition. The BMW 5 Series fuel pump is among the various parts of your fuel injection system that plays an important role in your car’s performance.
You can usually locate the BMW 5 Series fuel pump along the fuel tank sending unit. It serves two basic functions. One of these is to deliver a precise amount of fuel in all operating conditions. It does this by creating sufficient pressure to all the fuel injectors. Another function of your BMW 5 Series fuel pump is to push gasoline or fuel originating from the tank to the fuel injectors.
The location of the BMW 5 Series fuel pump inside the fuel tank provides some advantages. The higher gasoline pressure makes it possible for this fuel injection component to create positive pressure so that the gasoline is effectively pushed to the engine. This strategic location would less likely make your fuel pump start a fire because it is submerged in a cool liquid. Lastly, the pump will find itself more able to handle gasoline vapor well because it is always cool.
After many years of service, the sub components of your BMW 5 Series fuel pump will gradually wear out. Some of the brushes, armature bushings, rollers, commutator, and gears can rust or become corroded—making it hard for the unit to perform its intended function efficiently. Sediments and rust that get past the inlet filter stock of your BMW 5 Series fuel pump may also contribute to an accelerated wear and tear. When this happens, you need to immediately replace it with a new one.
