Where is X3 fuel filter? How to change bmw x3 e83 fuel filter inside of fuel tank

[@JesusPerez-iv2ej]

Excellent video! I did this 11 years and 80,000 miles ago. I remember it was tight and had to keep the area well ventilated because of the fumes. Now I’m getting ready to do it again this weekend.

Nice work personally I really appreciate it taking your time to teaching us

[@diysignal3107]

Thanks and appreciate

[@MyAddictedLife]

thank you, I just did this repair as well! do you have any idea where the fuel level sensor is? mine just went out

[@diysignal3107]

hi, searching online it show it come together with fuel pump. not really sure location. cheers

[@stuartbear922]

There are 2 fuel sensors.

Great video, my X3 filter regulator was very clogged and dark. It would crank long before starting and hesitate to accelerate and also STALL on deep curve exits. Let's see if all the fuel system parts I changed will also benefit from this new fuel regulator

Over the past 2 weeks my car is dying all of a sudden while going 55 MPH, and the 4x4, ECL, and Brake lights come on. II shut the car off and restart and everything seems fine. have never changed this filter at close to 190k miles (I am 3rd owner though). Could this be the cause ?

[@diysignal3107]

It can cause by electric shock out with car analysts computer, it do happen to me as 1 experience of spark plug worn out cause it shock out and as the symptoms of you said. You can do check on all spark plug as this easy job as well before go to big one. Cheers

What kind of lubricant should you use if the fuel tank ring is seized on tight?

[@diysignal3107]

wd-40 may help

[@vezymusic]

How do you actually remove the fuel filter? I’m twisting it left and right, it doesn’t want to come out.

[@carlosduran2050]

⁠​⁠@@vezymusic could you remove the filter? i have the same question

[@martinralte]

Great video, I do see that you put the metal aluminum clip (on one of the wire end connection) in the wrong direction. It should not really matter though as long as it is clipped tight. Cheers!

[@diysignal3107]

Thanks for the info! cheers

[@francescanuh]

Great video and very appreciated.If the owner of the video or anyone in the comment section can help me out with a question it would be appreciated.Can you tell me where does the hose to the pressure regulator is?It got pulled off and don't know where it goes to.

[@myleslee6839]

so as we can see from the owner of the video struggling it would be a little smarter to make sure your car is like almost empty of fuel when doing this procedure

[@jamsatsolutions4479]

💯💯💯💯….Great Video ‼️…what is the Part #s for these ?

[@diysignal3107]

Petro Fuel filter

[@fanbest186]

This is for gasoline engine ?

[@diysignal3107]

yes, petro.

[@Mr.3vinoTX]

Is the video reversed or in europe? the ring turns from the square to the smaller circle?

[@diysignal3107]

No taking by reverse

[@danielcoudriet8253]

I have a 2013 bmw x3 xdrive28i 2.0 gas is this the same way to change it. He did say Diesel a few times. any one know where it is in my car?

[@diysignal3107]

mone one on petro.

[@danielcoudriet8253]

what year and make is the Car ?

[@diysignal3107]

2007. e83 . 2.5si

[@SpellCheckBot]

This was the most frustrating thing i’ve ever done to a car lol. Well, okay, maybe not. I own 2 german cars so basically every repair is frustrating🤦🏼‍♂️😅

[@wibuwe]

The video was unclear on how he actually got the fuel filter out. How did you do it?

[@conservatorcivilus]

Looks like a nightmare!😅

[@diysignal3107]

😄

[@wibuwe]

by the way that hammer method of getting the retaining nut off will NOT work for everyone. I would just get the special tool before you even start this job -__-

[@msyeleking4968]

Good

[@roscoross7797]

After I get this piece of bmw going it's for sale...never again!

[@diysignal3107]

:D

[@martinralte]

I had the same issue as you described in my 08 X3. Eventually, it won't start at all in the cold morning. I replaced both fuel pump and filter plus the pump module. Problem still persist. Finally, the SPARK PLUG was the culprit. Now start right up first time and no more intermittent hesitation on acceleration. So, before you replace the fuel system, do fuel pressure check first, 72 psi is the ideal reading. I learnt the hard way 😁

[@ajuber876]

So turned out the new fuel injector o-rings solved my issue
