Re: E36 has burnt up two fuel pumps???

Hello.... My first post on this forum. I'm probably not going to be able to help you much, but I'd guess from your description that the eBay pump probably just failed. That's the chance you take with electrical parts. I looked at my Haynes manual and they don't give any test procedure for the fuel pump. but I'd say that you're doing it correctly. You should make sure of the polarity (plus and minus) of the wires, though. If it's out of the car, you might give it a tap with a broom handle and see if it will run. And I wouldn't run it "dry" for any length of time. Some of the auto parts stores (Pep Boys, Autozone, etc.) will test those things for you. Good luck.
