    Thanks Bill for the specifis on "how to" and "where to get it". Will check out Napa today and or maybe Koblenz could fly some in and help out on his birthday! First thing now is to really put her "on the blocks" or we could saddle a gut in the road and work on it that way. We island folk get to be innovative not necessarily by choice. Thanks again for the information folks. Will report back when she on the go again.

    don't worry - not going to drive it - have another vehicle until we get this one going again - but the bimmer is much more fun to drive it is a tii - vin 2782779 When I searched fuel lines for this year / model, they are only showing rubber fuel hoses sold by the meter. Where can we source the metal ones? Read through some posts on this forum and saw where rubber hose was used?

    Hi, New to posting on this forum but have been a 2002 owner for some 15 years. Have had this one since 2004 and she has been a great daily car with little problems.....except being in the Caribbean, the rust has just about taken its toll. I recently was left stranded when she acted like she was starving for fuel. After towing her back home, we blocked her up and crawled under the front end where we determined that the fuel line heading to the fuel filter as it runs up and past the pedal assembly has a hole in it. When I turn on the ignition and the fuel pump turns on,fuel is spitting out. We usually have our mechanic take care of the maintenance but our budget has gotten a little tighter so we thought we would see if we could tackle this problem ourself. The car will start fine and runs but the fuel is dripping from the fuel line and eventually the engine stops. What is the best solution for the replacment of this metal line? The leak also compromised the rubber spacer(?) between the frame and the pedal assembly. Wondering if that needs to be replaced or not a vital part. Appreciate your suggestions.
