WARNING
-

"
Gasoline
is
highly
flammable
and
its
vaporsare
explosive
.
Do
not
smoke
orwork
on
acarnear
heaters
or
other
fire
hazards
when
diagnosing
and
repairing
fuel
system
problems
.
Have
a
fire
extinguisher
available
in
case
of
an
emergency
.

"
When
working
onanopen
fuel
system,
wear
suit-
able
hand
protection
.
Prolonged
contact
with
fuel
can
cause
illnesses
and
skin
disorders
.

To
prevent
fuel
from
spraying
on
a
hot
engine,
system
fuel

pressure
should
be
relieved
before
disconnecting
fuel
lines
.

One
method
is
to
tightly
wrap
a
shop
towel
around
a
fuelline
fit-

ting
and
loosenor
disconnect
the
fitting
.

Cleanliness
is
essential
when
working
with
fuelcircuit
com-
ponents
.
Thoroughly
clean
theunionsbefore
disconnecting
fuellines
.

NOTE-

"
OnM44
engines,
a
Schrmder
valve
is
integrated
in
the
fuel
rail
.
Compressed
air
pressure
canbe
applied
at
the
valve
to
force
the
fuel
in
the
system
back
into
the
tank
.

NOTE-

B~
specifies
a
special
gauge
and
special
connecting
adapters
to
measure
fuel
pressure
.
If
the
special
tools
arenot
available,
a
length
of
fuel
fine
and
a
T-fitting
canbe
installed
to
the
inlet
fuel
fine
and
connected
to
a
fuel
gauge
.
On
some
vehicles,
thisis
not
possible
without
cutting
finto
a
fuel
lino
.
In
these
lnstances,
it
Is
recom-
mended
that
fuel
pressure
be
checked
at
theoutput
sidoof
the
fuel
pump
.
See

Pump
.

FUELDELIVERY
TESTS

On
OBD
II
6-cylinder
engines,
the
fuel
lines
use
a
special

locking
fitting
.
Use
BMW
special
tool

to
release
the

and
connect
the

WARNING
-

"
Gasoline
is
highly
flammable
and
its
vapors
are
explosive
.

"
The
fuel
pressure
gauge
must
be
securely
con-nected
to
prevent
it
from
coming
loose
under
pressure
.

NOTE-

"
The
fuel
pressure
gauge
should
have
arangoof
0
to
5
bar
(0
to
75
psi)
.

"
On
6-cylinder
engine,
thetop
left-sido
engine
cover
will
have
to
be
removed
to
access
the
fuel
rail
.

Residual
fuel
pressure,
testing

For
quick
restarts
and
to
avoid
vapor
lock
when
the
engine
is
hot,
the
fuel
injection
system
is
designed
to
retain
fuel
pres-
sure
after
the
engine
has
been
turned
off
.
Thís
residualpres-
sure
is
primarily
maíntained
by
a
check
valve
at
the
fuel
pump
outiet
and
the
fuel
pressure
regulator
.
The
fuel
pump
check
valve
is
not
serviceable
asan
individual
part
.

1.
Relieve
fuel
pressure
and
connect
a
pressure
gauge
as
described
earlier
.

WARNING
-

Fuel
will
be
discharged
.
Wrap
a

around
the
fuellino
fitting
when
disconnecting
the
fuel
fine
.
Do
not
smoke
