Anyone have a '91 BMW 318i fuel pump and fuel level sender unit?

08 SUCTION DEVICE W.PUMP 16141180233

09 SENDING UNIT ASSY METAL TANK 16141152266

Part number 8 and 9 in this picture. New ones cost a silly amount of money. These are the last hard to find parts I need to megasquirt my '75 2002.

Thanks, T.J.

Why not just use a E-2000 pump on the frame rail and the OEM 2002 tank? E-200's can be had cheap on fle-bay and every parts store stocks them so it it dies you can replace it on the road side. They were used for years in fords.

^Wait, drop the gas tank and install a different one and use a different pump vs just buying the correct pump or did I miss understand you

Drawf that is my primary plan - to go with an external pump. I've seen some external pumps from ford and VW that would work just fine.

I posted this as a long shot - since the '91 318 pump and sender are a drop in replacement. New ones cost too much to bother with when I can use an external pump instead. Finding a good used pump was is my plan B.

Good to have a plan B.

I see E-2000 are up to $40 now just last year i got two pumps for $42 shipped to me.
