Anyone install one in a Z3 carrier? The bottom bells out to a bigger diameter, so im thinking the bottom bit of plastic on the carrier would need to be cut off.

Yes i have one fitted. You have the right idea. The housing needed cutting back to mount to pump high enough to clear fouling the fuel tank.

You will need to put a 20A fuse in. Wiring is ok for that.

They look to be 10 or 12ga.

what size are you thinking Randy?
I'll be damned; looked up the wire size in the ETM and it says 2.5 (mm) which equates to 0.0984252"
They sure look like 16 or 18 ga to me...
There are 2 wires at the connector that are 16 or 18ga but I think they go to the fuel level sender?
Those are__according to the ETM__.5 (mm) which is 0.019685, which isn't even on that scale, though they're probably on the order of 20-24 ga.
You have to understand, I spent more than three (>3) decades playing with wires, sized anywhere from 500 MCM/15KV rated down to 24 ga/4-20Ma. I approach them today with a yeah, that'll work go or no go approach...
I'll go with what you say, you have been working on these a little longer than me
Hahaha! I understood what you were saying, but it was written out a bit strange. Not to worry, I speak fluent forumish.
What Randy is saying is:
1. The fuel pump wiring is 2.5mm/0.0984in (as per the ETM), which means it's somewhere in the order of 10-11 gauge wiring.
2. The fuel level sensor wiring is .5mm/0.0197in (as per the ETM), which means it's not listed on the chart...but probably in the order of 20-24 gauge wiring.

Yeah sorry i got mixed up, good to know its that thick. Is the relay up to task fro a 20amp fuse?
Just curious. What HP levels are you supporting with that size pump?
99 M Coupe
99 996 Cabrio
86 Saleen Griggs Road Race Car
700? That will put you ass-first into the guardrail *hard*!

Stuff. I got stuff.
https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...-L33-twin-6262 link to my build. Yeah its a bit much for power i know, my last car made 625whp from a 4cly @ 37psi (S14 240sx) so i know what that power can do. I would like to make that power on pump we don't have E85 here unfortunately. Worst case ill add water meth.
