Where is the fuel filter located on the BMW X1?

The fuel filter of the BMW X1 is located inside the fuel tank. Method for replacing the fuel filter: First, prepare a fuel filter suitable for the BMW X1 and remove the original fuel filter from its mounting bracket. Then disconnect the fuel inlet pipe of the fuel filter, at which point fuel inside the pipe will spill out. Direct the spilled fuel into a container. When the flow decreases, attach a hose clamp and quickly connect the new filter's fuel inlet, while also sealing the old filter's fuel inlet. Disconnect the other end of the old filter and connect it to the new filter, then tighten the hose clamp with a screwdriver to prevent fuel leakage. Finally, reinstall the replaced fuel filter back into its original position. Precautions for replacing the fuel filter: Due to the pressure within the fuel system, to avoid fuel spray or fire hazards when removing the filter, it is essential to release the pressure in the fuel system before disconnecting the fuel lines. It is advisable to perform the fuel filter replacement in the morning of the following day (when the engine is cold), as the fuel pressure in the system is lower at this time, resulting in less fuel spillage during the filter removal process.
