Pumps are typically quite robust and can handle a lot of fuel volume. Keeping them from over heating & seizing up depends on them pumping fuel & not air. Also, Ice clogging the pick-up screen will overload the pump motor.<br><br>Are you in fact sure that it is the pump that fails? Have we evaluated the fuel pump relay and the rest of the fuel pump circuit wiring? A seized or overloaded pump will typically also blow the fuel pump fuse.<br><br>Good Luck!;)<br><br>Mike Morris<br>Schneller BMW Performance<br>26 Middle Rd<br>Newbury, MA 01951<br>978.465.2002Wed, 02 Apr 2008 09:41:45 GMTschnellerhttp://www.boston-bmwcca.org/InstantForum/Topic400-7-1.aspxPlease help me my car has burn't out 4 fuel pumps in 2months and no one seems to know whats going on...Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:11:10 GMTmrlaw2
