2001 530i E39 Fuel Drain Pipe, DM-TL Errors on Peake reader

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

This is a left side drive.
The problem I have is with a part seen in the following page at 
 realoem.com 
     http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=DT53&mospi d=47587&btnr=... 
 On the page above, the part in question is part #22 - Outlet Pipe. 
  Recently I have smelled gasoline whenever I stop driving the car. The 
 smell has apparently nothing 
 to do with the level of the gasoline at the time. Two days ago I was 
 filling the tank and just after the pump shut off, 
 I noticed , say 3 cups of gasoline on the pavement beneath my BMW. 
 This is the first time I have seen an overflow of gasoline. 
 I removed the right rear wheel well liner in order to tighten the hose clamps on hose #12 at realoem. Behind the liner and 
 attached to the liner was the Outlet Pipe - part #22. It is black plastic and perhaps 30 inches long. It passes through a hole in the liner near the bottom of the wheel liner. There is also a clip that holds it to the liner at about its midpoint. The upper end terminates as a nipple. 
   My question is what do I attach this nipple too? I notice in 
 the photo at realoem, the there is a cup shaped item which it appears 
 to be connected to. This item is not visible to me on the car. It has 
 no name or number on the diagram. I feel what appears to be a factory 
 made hole in one of the 2 pipes descending from the fuel input. This 
 hole is 
 maybe the diameter of a wooden match and 
 maybe 3 inches below the fuel input. The nipple of part #22 does not 
 fit this hole. 
  As an aside, I don't understand how this "drain pipe" can be attached 
  without a valve to a fuel tank system that is "sealed". _ I am getting 
  DMTL errors. 
  Many Thanks for reading, Mark
