Hi,

First of many tech questions im sure......I have a new fuel filter to fit but the fuel pump and pipes are a bit of a mess.I will need all the metal pipes replacing and the reg looks a bit rusty as well.Pump looks fine and seems to work.Also the little rubber mounts have broken.Where do you think I could get these sorted at a sensible price

Thanks

Andy

Ive just got hold of some, go to one thats breaking and buy the whole fuel line. best buy make sure car sa runner

Buy the lines from your BMW dealer, think it came to 30 quid when I did the Baur. Second hand ones will already be rusty unless you are very lucky. Alternatively get a roll of cunifer 8mm fuel pipe and make your own.

I'd just add that you should get the right pipe bender before you start. I did the lines on the Mustang and I my pipe bender was too big. Much swearing ensued! Went and spent 10 bucks on the right one and away we went.

I took the old rusty ones off complete and used them as a template to make new ones. Was slow, but not difficult.

Mine need replacing too, i was thinking about flexible hose. Has anyone done this, where can i buy from?

I guess its a main Stealer job then.I havent been to them before can they still get loads of bits for this age vehicle?

Cheers
