Fuel filter installation

Bayerish Reisenden · 04-18-2017, 03:38 AM

Hello all,

My 13' 535i does not have fuel filter under the body.
do you think it is possible to install it ?
I seen here that there is a fuel filter, but I don't have it on my car

I think it's in the tank.

Fuel filter is inside the fuel tank and does not realistically requiring servicing for the expected life span of the vehicle.

Hi. 2011 BMW 535I. Looking under the vehicle and doesnt have a fuel filter either. I called BMW and they said there is not filter on this car. Anybody knows anything else? I know there is a mash kind under the fuel pump pick up inside the tank. I don't like this.

You could get these inline filters, but to be honest the filter in the pumps (the mesh is just a pre-filter) is more than enough.

No need for a fuel filter. I have 285K miles and still on running just fine.

yeah the filter is in inside the tank attached to the LPFP, it holds the pump assembly in place but can be pulled apart. Pulled mine out at 87kmiles, but didnt look too dirty to be honest.
