Removing Fuel Pump on BMW 3

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Fuel pump

How do you remove the fuel pump? Let's look at removing the pump from inside the tank of a BMW 3. Remove the rear seat cushions to access the tank cover. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the bolts securing the metal cap (if present), and remove it from its seat. Cover the perimeter with absorbent paper to catch any fluid leaks. Disconnect the fuel supply connectors and the return lines, then unscrew the large plastic nut. Extract the fuel pump and float from its housing along with any attached components. Replace the damaged part with a new one.
