i have a good working quiet one here with two pipes on the top for a 316i 318i or 318is .

this type of pump is for a 55 ltr tank i can send it next day delivery or 1st class recorded so you will probs get it next day but cheaper postage costs.

pm me if interested.

Will work equally well in a 62 litre tank as long as the second pipe is blanked off with a couple of inches of hose and a sawn off bolt to block the end.

I would recommend a geniune pump only,
I purchased my car (325 Touring) with a fubbered pump and fitted an aftermarket pump,
It ran ok (at first) but was ridiculously noisy to the point you could hear it over the stereo, but eventual running problems (within 3 months) meant I fitted a geniune s/hand pump - all problems instantly cured,
Just my opinion,
:D :D
Gone, but not forgotten !!
