Fuel Pressure Regulator / Filter

[michae1636]

Greetings from MN.

I don't know if this is the place to ask this question, as I am not familiar with these forums and how to use them. I am new to this. My question is simply "Is there any instructions available for accessing the Fuel Pressure Regulator / Filter on a E89? (2011 3.0 manual transmission)

 

Thanks!

Hi Michael...welcome to the Forum

The only thing I can really find on the FPR is the following information and replacement filter assembly from somewhere in the States.

We recommend preventative replacement of the fuel filter at 60-80,000 mile intervals. Replacing your fuel filter with this Genuine BMW fuel filter with built in fuel pressure regulator will help prevent the filter from becoming clogged. A clogged fuel filter can result in a variety of problems including stalling, cold start problems, and reduced performance.

Have never removed/refitted one before but assume it is in the fuel tank and requires obvious H&S and common sense with flammable fumes, etc.

Let us know if you find anything else out about the R&R of the filter
