Will do.
It'll be good to see you again.

The 3 day old Gates serpentine belt on my e39 decided to snap. I won't be able to make it...

No mud... drive the truck.

I should take the 940 turbo brick over and park it in the Bimmergarden.

Updates?

A long, yet fun, day.
My hat's off to Brian for his work in design and machining prior to his 90 mile drive down.
Due to some necessary conflicts, attendance was limited.
By the end of the day there were 5 of us.
The burgers were tasty, and accompanied by the , supplied the fuel we needed to keep going, to the end.
After it was all said and done two E28 ///M5's escorted Brian about halfway back to Bryan via a few back roads.
The fuel pump mod worked flawlessly.

Here's a pictorial of what was done on my E28 ///M5:

No people or car pics this time.

Thanks to Sherman for hosting. I was glad to meet some new people and sort out some minor issues...the least of which was the front end shudder. The escort back toward Bryan was an extra treat and felt almost like two fighter jets escorting a blimp.... ... ... It all went smoothly till I was solo and made a wrong turn. What's an extra 40 minutes lost on the back roads of central Texas?...An opportunity for more fun!

This sounds very familiar!

Glad to hear all went smoothly.

This... The first Saturday of the month is a no go for me. The club meeting for another hobby is held on the first Saturday of each month.

So was dropping the lady at work today and heard a whine/hum coming from the rear passenger side of the car. Car is/was driving fine and got me to work. Immediately got on the forums to diagnose...from what i'm reading it sounds like a fuel pump issue.

Yesterday the car had less than a 1/4 tank of gas and WASN'T making any noise. I filled up yesterday on the way home, didn't hear the whine, but it did show up first thing this morning when the tank was more full.

The fuel filter was replaced 18 months ago.

Based on what I've read, primary opinion seems to be that diagnosis of the inner pump seems to come with less fuel in the tank. Using that logic, is it safe to assume this is the outer pump?

Thanks.

You normally won't hear the in-tank pump fail.

Contact Brian, Bav Ace, he's the builder.
I'm now running this setup in three of our cars.
They have survived long distance road trips,
and many short trips inbetween including both RTT and TexFest torture tests.

I'm a satisfied customer.

Only you and God know how hard you work your fuel pumps but if doing RTT with you over the last four years is any indication , I know they get a work out... A lttle extra pressure cant hurt.
