Purpose and Function of the Component

The fuel tank bracket mount in BMW F20, F21, and F22 models is responsible for stably holding the fuel tank in the correct position relative to the body. A correctly selected and installed component:

• minimizes the risk of unwanted stress within the fuel tank and fuel lines,
• ensures proper load transfer during driving over uneven surfaces, braking, and acceleration,
• maintains the factory geometry of the fuel system, which contributes to smooth engine operation.

Its placement on the right side of the vehicle allows for symmetrical mounting and even distribution of forces acting on the fuel tank.

Compatibility with the Injection System and the "Injector Nozzles" Category

Although the bracket itself is not a flow-through component, its condition indirectly affects the stability of the injection system. A properly secured fuel tank reduces vibrations and displacement, which contributes to:

• maintaining constant fuel pressure in the lines supplying the injector nozzles,
• reducing the risk of micro-leaks at fuel line connections,
• ensuring predictable engine fueling under various road conditions.

When diagnosing fuel system issues, it is worth considering not only the injector nozzles themselves but also the condition of the fuel tank mounting components and lines.

Characteristics of an Original BMW Part

The offered fuel tank bracket mount is an original BMW component, designed for full compatibility with the factory mounting points in the F20, F21, and F22 body. Thanks to this:

• it fits existing holes and mounts without requiring structural modifications,
• it maintains the factory alignment of the tank and accessory assembly lines,
• it reduces the risk of incorrect installation that could affect the safety of the fuel system.

A used OEM part is a sensible choice for users who expect factory fitment while maintaining cost-effective repairs.

Condition, Installation, and Service Application

The part is from a disassembly and is offered as a used original component. This type of component is particularly useful in situations where:

• there has been mechanical damage to the mount due to collision or corrosion,
• the fuel tank mounting system needs rebuilding after body repairs,
• you are performing professional fuel system service and want to restore the factory configuration of components.

Due to its placement on the right side of the vehicle, during installation, pay attention to the correct routing of fuel lines and covers to maintain safe ground clearance and avoid interference with the suspension.
