Services Performed
- Visual Vehicle Inspection
- *Fuel tank gauge shows empty. Fished camera probe down fuel filler neck and saw fuel at top of tank. Found stored faults for "fuel tank vent system leak detection module" and for "right fuel level sensor signal". Faults not currently present. High probability the tank is full and the right level sensor either failed or has a short in the wiring. Small possibility there is fuel vent system blockage (ie, charcoal canister), that is preventing fuel from full entering tank. Next step is to access level sender (serviced as fuel pump assembly) for further testing. Requires emptying fuel tank, removal of rear axle and dropping exhaust system. Fuel pump/sender assembly has been discontinued by BMW and has no availability.
- *Siphoned 6 gallons of fuel from tank. Drove vehicle to gas station and filled tank without issue. Fuel gauge went from empty to half tank, so gauge does function but is completely inaccurate due to bad level sender. – Recommend using odometer to gauge remaining fuel and not rely on fuel gauge.
