ONLY WORKS 96 AND BELOW. 97 UP XJ'S DO NOT DO WILL BLOW FUEL LINE OFF TO MUCH PRESSURE.
Ok , So I was having a starting problem on my Jeep cherokee. In morning I would have to Cycle my key 3 times before car would actually start. So On jeeps the check valve is internally on your fuel pump. Fuel pump is a pain and cost over $100 So Easy fix is a $4 Check Valve from BMW Part Number is 16149068988 DO NOT go to advance pepboys or napa. They will say it does not exist. BMW sells for $4.15 and took 2 days to come in. Chop a piece of your fuel line in rear and fit this valve in. Arrow Pointing towards motor. I hid mine behind Ebrake Bracket. Once you finish go inside vehicle prime key like normal because your fuel line will be empty. After that . Car starts Like new.

Please comment and Like if you do THANKS All questions will be answered

  • You would need to put it on the supply line the arrow facing towards the motor as close to the gas tank. so it holds more fuel. If you put it in the engine bay your only holdin a dot of fuel. It would be pointless to put on your return line. Just make sure it goes like this gas tank --------> engine it will have little arrow on it to show you how it works. it stops fuel from giong back into your gas tank so when you turn the key its on demand. Doesnt not have to reprime the fuel line

  • continued from last. if you use your own fuelline please use injection fuel line. If you do not it will blow from the high psi being pushed thru. Its little more cash but is way safer. And they have bolt style hose clamps do not use those little screw ones with tons of cuts in the line. they suck

  • First i would check if your fuel rail has a return line on it. If there's only one fuel line on your rail then you do not. Then i would not do this. You need your fuel rail to return the excessive fuel after it has reached maximum psi. Also if you do this test and find that your check valve is not the problem make sure all your ground wires are ok. Ive seen some that adding ground wires help starting issues and window issues. the fuel line is 5/16 and bmw valve comes with it . read next comment

  • Loose the music and talk what your doing and why. Music sucked by the way. If your going to post a video that has to do with working on a jeep or any type of car, truck, suv or whatever it maybe. Explain why an what your doing. I just wasted time watching this video cause you have no reason why you did it.

  • loose the music,

  • Did you put the check valve in the return or supply?

  • Perfect, thanks for the advice!!

  • Thanks for sharing! I have a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee that is having the same problem. Would I be able to do this on mine or is the fuel pressure excessive? Also wondering about the fuel line size...
