BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE WORKING ON THE FUEL SYSTEM.

Look under the car about ten inches in front of the rear left wheel,i think you'll find the pump is there.

????? E30's were made between 1982 and 1993 surely ?.

The pump is under the black metal cover under the back seat (drivers side) and is fitted into the top of the fuel tank.

IIRC, the pump under the wheel arch is the high pressure pump. There's still a pump in the tank that feeds the other pump.

The prefacelifts came with a sender pump intank and a high pressure pump mounted infront of the rear offside wheel. The post '87 cars had this changed to a single high pressure intank pump.
