A mechanical fuel pump was used in earlier carbureted vehicles. This was attached to the frame rail connecting the tank and the engine and motivated by a lobe on the engine’s camshaft. Modern vehicles, like the BMW 325i, have the electric fuel pump used with the electronic fuel injection which is to be found within the fuel tank and is operated by the vehicle’s battery.

When there is a sudden problem with the operation of a fuel pump, check first its electrical connections. This may be affected by a blown fuse, loose wire otherwise an open relay.
