Replacing Fuel Lines - Need assistance with length


rapandi

Recommended Posts

I remember seeing a post where someone had listed all the fuel line sizes and approx lengths required for replacement purposes. However I cannot find it for the life of me and so I have made my own list below. If anyone knows of the top of their head, then can you please write the lengths against each one please? I would like to work out how much I need to purchase. I am not near my car for a few weeks else I would have measured.

 

1) 12mm hose fuel tank to electric pump
2) 8mm hose from pump/accumulator to steel line near passenger side
3) 8mm hose at front panel from steel line to fuel filter
4) 8mm hose from fuel filter to KF pump
5) 8mm hose from KF pump to cold start valve
6) 8mm hose return from KF pump to firewall

 

 

I am thinking of replacing it with this (except for the 12mm one) - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/5-16-8MM-NYLON-STAINLESS-STEEL-BRAIDED-PTFE-TEFLON-FUEL-HOSE-LINE-1M-BLACK-/281748240222?hash=item419980f75e:g:m6QAAOSwmtJXWTME

 

Anyone see anything wrong with this?

Find out what end fittings the SS braid hose needs.  Probably more than hose clamps.  Will it push on fuel nipples and be the right size for no leaks?  This is pretty rigid stuff and the minimum bend radius might be more that you want.

A radiator shop is a good place to take a leak.

 

I have no idea what I'm doing but I know I'm really good at it.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
