Hello ,

I finally got the fuel pump and tried to start my 02. I noticed that when i turned the car over there was a very slight leak from the top of the Kugelfischer fuel injector pump. the leak was right where the 4 allen keys are.

Is this bad news? i took off the fuel lines and it looks like there is gas going to them but i was worried about that ...

does this mean GASP:eek: new fuel injector pump..if so where do get one and how much...

Any advise to seting thsi up would be appreciated. I really do not want to move to carbs. i want to get this going with the Kugelfischer

thanks

Chances are the rubber o-ring seals around those allen head screws are shot. They are still available new. Contact 2002 Haus at 805-541-2002... I know they have them in stock. They are really inexpensive, you should get spares. Should be a cheap fix.

You should contact Bob Murphy at the TII Register. He has all the information on the pump including a DVD and the service/diagnostic manual for the pump from BMW. Once you understand what is in that manual, you can determine about 90% of the problems relatively easy, or a mechanic can with the right knowledge of that book. http://www.thetiiregister.com

Keith, once again you are a life saver..thanks!! my younger brother and I are commited to resurrecting her and not letting her disapper in the scrap yardy and the help form fellow 02ers is appreciated

another quick question keith, the fule fileter you used on yours waht model mercedes?

Thanks... glad to be of some help. As far as the filter, I don't recall, but here is an easier part number: get the filter for the 1991 318is E30 3 series, it's the same filter. About $15 US in any chain auto parts store.
