    Pull fuse #31. Put the key in and forward but do not start the car. Count to five and remove the key and replace the fuse. Some E-36's have had success with fuse #41 if 31 doesn't work.

    Hi,

    My fuel gauge also shows empty. I changed the fuel sender, but it still shows empty. My car is a 2009 BMW 750Li.

    I tried removing all fuses that correspond to the symbol = gas station pump. When I started the car, it shut down after 20 seconds. The fuses must have been for fuel pump. I reinstalled the fuses.

    Could you tell me what fuse 31 (or 41) is for 2009 BMW 750Li? I have the fuse diagram, but I don't know which fuse to remove/test. Also when I remove the fuses, should I just do the ignition or start the car?

    Thanks in advance
