Radium BMW E46 Fuel Pump Hanger
Application: BMW E46 3 Series incl. M3 and M3 CSL (OEM BMW/VDO level senders required)
Part Type: Dual-side fuel pump hanger (one or two pumps, pumps sold separately)
Part Number: 20-1180
The Radium 20-1180 replaces both the left and right-side fuel hat assemblies in the BMW E46 saddle tank. It runs one or two aftermarket fuel pumps, reuses the OEM passive and active fuel level sensors and retains a true saddle-tank crossover - with no cutting or modification to the vehicle.
The collector bowl is fed from three sources: the OEM labyrinth, low-pressure return fuel driving the venturi siphon, and crossover fuel scavenged from the passive side. A redesigned PRV venturi jet pump with built-in pressure relief valve limits excess return flow, which can otherwise pop the OEM connection when high-flow pumps run at low load, and allows low static fuel pressure.
