About Fuel Control Units
The BMW fuel control unit improves the performance of the engine, enabling it to work as efficiently as possible while increasing the life of the engine.
The engine needs the correct amount of air and fuel flowing through it in order for the fuel to burn in the cylinders and for the engine to ignite or spark at the right time. If the ignition sparks at the wrong time, there will be less power in the engine and it will try to make up for this by using more fuel, significantly reducing fuel efficiency, which in turn increases the car's CO2 emissions. If combustion occurs too soon this can also cause significant damage to various engine components.
The car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) uses data provided by clever sensors mounted on the engine which measure factors such as air pressure; the speed the engine is rotating; engine temperature; acceleration position; the temperature of the air; and the level of fuel flowing into the engine to make vital adjustments to ensure the right amount of air and fuel mix is entering the engine at the point which the ignition sparks. The BMW fuel control unit is a system that provides fuel pumping, metering, and fuel filtration. The fuel control unit measures the exact amount of fuel flowing into the engine, and in conjunction with the ECU, adjusts various valves to either increase or decrease the flow of fuel based on the demands of the engine. The fuel control unit usually includes the fuel sender unit and fuel gauge. Usually attached to the fuel pump, and normally located in the fuel tank, the fuel sender unit measures the level of fuel in the tank, usually with the aid of a float and a clever resistor type sensor. The fuel level data is sent to the car's fuel gauge, normally located on the dash board. The fuel gauge shows the level of fuel in the tank. As the fuel is used, the floats lower in the fuel sender unit and the fuel gauge reflects this by slowly moving down. This enables the driver to see how much fuel is left in the tank. The driver would use this information to fill the car up with fuel as and when required. It helps the driver to make sure the fuel levels don't get too low. Worse case scenario is running out of fuel. Running out of fuel can damage the engine. Running a car on low levels of fuel can also be harmful to engine components and the fuel system, including the fuel filter and fuel pump.
Problems with the fuel system should be fixed as soon as possible. If the fuel control unit is faulty this can affect the entire fuel system and can lead to engine problems. A faulty fuel control unit may affect the accuracy of the information displayed on the fuel gauge and could lead to the car running out of fuel. When replacing the fuel control unit it's wise to make sure the replacement part is compatible with your car. Specifically manufactured for the make and model of your vehicle, a good quality BMW fuel control unit provides superior performance and long working life.
BMW trivia
- Pop Art legend Andy Warhol was asked to hand paint a BMW, and he did the whole thing on a full-sized model in 24 minutes. He said afterwards, "I adore the car, it's much better than a work of art."
- The Cold War affected BMW sales so significantly that the company was nearly bought out by their arch-rivals Mercedes in 1959. A silent investor saved the company, but the rivalry between BMW and Mercedes Benz is ongoing.
- That distinctive BMW car engine sound that new owners fall in love with might not be real. The BMW M5 has such a quiet engine that they had to install fake engine noises to keep drivers happy!
- Electric cars might be all the rage now, but BMW built their first one in 1972 and called it the BMW 1602e. It didn't quite make it to market though, thanks to the fact that it could only hold a twenty-minute charge.
- The BMW 3.0CSL was sold in the 70s and had the unusual addition of a spoiler that was kept in the boot. The owner could install it if they wanted to, but BMW couldn't sell the car with the spoiler attached because of road laws!
