I do have a new Mahle fuel filter to install.
I went with mahle from fcp, job is easy the only thing I can bitch about is the metal plate covering it
Pros: job is easy
Cons: metal plate covering it
all pumps are Carter brand and the fuel filter is Mahle.
You should just buy the Mahle or Mann filter (in that order) and replace the whole thing. Your vacuum line running to it could also be leaking.
Cons: vacuum line leaking
Vehicle:
BMW
Part number: KL96
Take out the fuel pump assembly again, replace your filter (Mahle KL145) while you're there, and recheck all connections.
Pros: replace filter, recheck connections
