Removal air from the fuel system (BMW 3 Series E36)

            0

After emptying the fuel tank or after replacing fuel system components, air removal from the fuel system is generally not required, since air removal occurs automatically when the starter is activated.

In case of difficulties with starting the engine, to check whether fuel is supplied to the injectors, unscrew the union nuts on two injectors and start the engine without preheating until fuel comes out through the union nuts. Tighten the union nuts with a torque of 20 Nm and start the engine in the usual way.

Note: If automatic air removal does not occur, proceed as follows:
  • When working with the fuel injection system, observe strict cleanliness.
  • Make sure that diesel fuel does not come into contact with water hoses. If it does, wipe the hoses clean immediately. Affected hoses must be replaced.
