I had replaced the Bosch fuel pump lately and figured out that the fuel intake of the pump/strainer were sitting 1/2" higher than the Bosch pump. There was nothing I could really do to put the Treperformance pump lower. In the process I had to cut out the bottom plastic part of the Bosch bracket in order to accommodate the bigger and centered fuel intake. However the strainer finally ended up being about 1/2" higher than the original fuel intake.
This means that I am running out of fuel earlier...not that there is no more fuel in the tank... but I can't suck it out with the higher pump.
As my wife is driving the 525it most of the time ...what shall I tell her: how much earlier should she find a gas station?
What do you think? Martin
