The fuel pump control module of a BMW 320 is positioned above the fuel tank. Here are the specific details: 1. Consequences of fuel pump failure: If the vehicle's fuel pump control module is damaged, symptoms such as increased fuel consumption and black smoke from the exhaust pipe will occur. A damaged fuel pump module needs to be replaced promptly to prevent the vehicle from failing to start. 2. Symptoms of fuel pump failure: A damaged fuel pump cannot pump fuel, leading to a collapse of the fuel supply system and preventing the vehicle from starting; damage to the fuel pump's check valve results in no residual pressure, failing to meet the required fuel pressure value, significantly reducing atomization efficiency and causing difficulty in starting, requiring prolonged and repeated ignition attempts; wear of the centrifugal pump impeller leads to reduced fuel supply pressure, absence of the fuel pump's operational sound, inadequate fuel supply, weak acceleration, and unusual noises like buzzing while driving; mechanical failures such as rotor jamming: increased operating current of the fuel pump, causing damage to relays or fuses; the engine warning light illuminates, and the engine exhibits abnormal vibrations.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the X3 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the BMW X3 is 72 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the BMW X3 can also verify this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The BMW X3 requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 8.4-8.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel allows for a driving range of approximately 828-857 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
