[Troubleshooter]

Hi there . New to forum and hope my question is appropriate for this feed. I too have a fuel problem 2001 325i. When my tank reaches 1/2 gas starts pouring out under the car . Basically everything I pump after say 6 gallons ends up on the ground. I did look under the seat and saw the two access points but am curious why the passenger side had the one connection going in the little hole but there is another connection with a 3 pin(actually no pins ) but connects to nothing.
help please. Thank you

You might want to look at the hose and clamp between the filler tube and the tank. 11 and 17 in this schematic.

Can you take a picture of the fuel pump (right side) and the sender (left side)?

Is this the hose where I need to remove the fender casing ?
