    Default Car out of commission due to Fuel Pump?

    Hey guys,

    I was on a mountain highway at night in the middle of a rain storm. All of a sudden, my trusty bimmer did the unthinkable..it stopped.

    The engine just cutout, kind of like when you run out of gas.

    I noticed earlier during the day, there was a hissing sound coming from the rear trunk of the car. What could possible we back there that would cause a hissing sound?

    Anyways, I "think" that may be related to my problem. Anyways, the engine cranks like it wants to start, but maybe its not getting fuel or something.

    Maybe the fuel pump died? How would I go about troubleshooting to see if the fuel pump is the problem?

    Another thing, when I turned off the ignition today, the oil pressure light would come on for about 5-10 seconds after I pull the key out of the ignition.

    Maybe this is related? Please help.

    Thanks
