I heard the e30 in tank pump works ok. wiring it up isn't hard, but you need to fit an extra fuel line if the shell isn't a 323i.

the extra fuel line is my biggest problem, probably going to have to get someone who knows what they are doing to do it, cause i have no idea what i'm doing haha.

All you need to do is run a solid fuel line the length of the car. You could even run it internally? I think because it's a return line, it won't be under much pressure either?

yeah i think you run a pressure regulator before it anyway. i'll have a look when i get back at xmas, as i don't even know where it runs from on the engine yet.

Hello,
your car is originally a 320/6? then I wouldn't make such a problem about a returnline, because your car is already fitted with one........

its a 320/6 yes, but i thought only injection cars had a returnline?
