  1. I was alluding to the fact that in some vehicles, fuel pump electric motors are located inside a gasoline tank. I appreciate my machine learning model. It is necessary to have oxygen for combustion to occur. A gas tank contains neither air nor liquid; it consists only of gasoline and vapor. In your situation, there exists vapor, oxygen, and a possible ignition source, namely a fan.
  2. I am concerned about the fan. Any engine might generate an arc, perhaps resulting in an explosion of the gas vapors. Perhaps an overreaction on my side; my father was a supervisor of industrial electricians in a refinery, where everything was explosion-proof. Fuel pumps are submerged in gasoline.
  3. I have a degree of envy; a front license plate will last maybe 15 minutes in Germany before incurring a fine—repeated offenses may be classified as a criminal.
  4. The voltage will initially be around 14 volts and thereafter decline to below 12 volts after a few minutes of operation, decreasing more rapidly when the headlights and other loads are activated. It seems that the alternator is not generating sufficient charge.
  5. I applied a socket to the alternator pulley, and it requires some effort to induce slippage. The tensioner, idler, and belt were changed in January.
  6. Did you have comparable symptoms? I have inspected my back pre-fuse, and it seems to be functioning properly, to the best of my knowledge.
  7. Upon inspection, there are no indications of water or discoloration around the rear SAM. I closely monitor the front drain owing to alarming accounts I have encountered.
  8. Both alternators passed bench tests at the auto parts shop.
  9. I am experiencing a charging problem with my 2004 S430. I rebuilt the battery and alternator in January of this year, and it has functioned well until now. Last week, unexpectedly, the voltage significantly decreased when using the vehicle. I had to remove the battery and recharge it three times to get home. The battery maintains a voltage of 12.6 volts, suggesting it is functioning well. I possessed a guarantee for the alternator, therefore I placed an order for a replacement. I substituted it, nevertheless the same problems persisted. Upon first activation after a period of inactivity, I see a voltage of 14V, which thereafter diminishes progressively. The voltage is consistent at the battery, the fuse box under the carpet, and the alternator terminal when the engine is operating. I verified that the blue wire connected to the alternator has 12 volts when the engine is operating. Is this a problem with the prefuse junction box? Is there anything else I should verify before to placing the order?
  10. Deliver it to the dealer subsequent to recording a video of the sound.
  11. https://www.cpsproducts.com/product-details/550500/ I strongly endorse it; it alleviates much frustration.
  12. Your reaction suggests the potential for trapped air inside the system. Numerous methods and techniques exist to alleviate air, with the most effective being the use of a lift pump. Compressed air is used to generate a vacuum inside the system and facilitate vacuum filling.
  13. Is it possible that the sound you are hearing is caused by an exhaust leak? If the automobile is running, it will probably undergo modest modifications when it reaches a warmer temperature.
  14. Has this phenomenon evolved gradually or did it manifest abruptly? Is it exhibiting a gradual deterioration or has it been unchanged for a considerable period of time? From which part of the engine is the sound originating? Regrettably, I am unable to provide much assistance without a minimum amount of further information. A sudden knock is always unwelcome, and I would not go from the town without first ascertaining its nature.
  15. Indeed. I will inform you within the next 2 hours.
  16. I am easily locatable, but what specific color finish are you in need of?
  17. By just deleting the primary components, the resulting sound will undoubtedly be louder compared to solely removing the secondary components. Based on your preference for a lower volume, I suggest removing just the secondary components. In addition, the removal of merely the secondary components does not activate the Check Engine Light (CEL). My buddy has installed a secondary cat delete on his F90 vehicle. However, I found it to be unimpressive, so I decided to completely remove the catalytic converter. Variations in preferences exist among individuals.
  18. Could you please provide a precise definition of the term "trucks"?
  19. I hope that the audio quality of the film accurately represents its true nature. The difference in volume is certainly noticeable, but seeing it firsthand is just mind-blowing. I have friends who have modified their vehicles and they have advised me that if I make any more changes to the exhaust system, which is now in its original condition, it will result in excessive noise.
  20. ha ha ha ha . Do you want a video of the exhaust system or a video of the car running?
  21. Approximately two months ago, I succumbed to temptation and installed catless main and secondary downpipes from [email protected]. My reflections: 1.) The CEL is undoubtedly present. Lately, I have been using BimmerLink and an ENET Wi-Fi OBD II device to eliminate the error code. It occurs about every 100-150 kilometers. Initially, the presence of the CEL was bothersome, but I eventually used to it due to its undeniable value. Currently, I just delete the code in order to preserve the functionality of remote start. 2.) The disparity in sound and satisfaction is starkly contrasting. I really enjoyed the automobile in its original condition, but it was undeniably lacking a certain element. Currently, the sound produced by the exhaust is very loud. When the engine is revved to its maximum, it emits a powerful and thunderous noise similar to that of the mythical god Thor. Additionally, the turbochargers provide a high-pitched whistling sound reminiscent of a Calvo Viper. Furthermore, the upshifts are characterized by a forceful and impactful sensation. The ZF8 exhaust emits a loud noise and sometimes comes in its original state, but it becomes very powerful when the catalytic converters are removed. 3.) Many individuals have conflicting opinions on the use of running downpipes with a stock tune. While the majority acknowledge that it is achievable and acceptable, a few individuals may claim that the vehicle exhibits peculiar behavior and sometimes experiences power loss. What are my opinions on the assertion? I have performed many Dragy tests on my vehicle in its standard configuration, as well as a few times with the addition of downpipes. The stock acceleration time from 60 to 130 miles per hour is between 8.1 and 8.4 seconds, with some exceptional runs achieving 8.0 seconds. The acceleration time from 60 to 130 miles per hour for vehicles equipped with downpipes is between 7.7 and 7.9 seconds. If I were to have an exceptional performance in ideal weather conditions without any obstacles, I believe I could achieve a time of 7.6 seconds to accelerate from 60 to 130 miles per hour. I have not yet had the opportunity to test the vehicle in the same weather conditions as when I achieved a time of 8.0 seconds with no modifications. However, with a temperature of 75°F and an altitude of 2700 feet above sea level, the car achieved a time of 7.8 seconds. The stock time for comparison in those weather is around 8.3 seconds. The turbochargers now reach their maximum rotational speed more quickly, resulting in little delay in power delivery known as turbo lag. It is evident that the assertions about the automobile running slower or performing worse are false. Is it possible that this may be true in the future when the automobile has accumulated more mileage? I am uncertain. One observation I have made is that the low-end power is, at most, equal to the stock power when starting from 0-20-40 mph. However, the significant difference in top-end power compensates for this. I do oil changes at intervals of 5,000 miles and want to begin replacing my spark plugs every 15,000 miles now that I no longer have a catalytic converter. In summary, I have a strong affection for both the automobile itself and the sound it produces. This is the ideal version of the M8 that should have been produced initially, but unfortunately, it was not feasible.
