not sure if i 100% understand what you are saying, but the minimum length BMW will sell you, is a single meter, and they told me it comes as a 5 meter spool. hell, they probably would sell you more, should you want it. i know it used to be sold in bulk through IMC, a distributor here in the states, as a 5 meter spool. FWIW

Are there any hoses that are >1m in length on the vehicle? I know hardlines are but don’t remember if the hoses

[Vincenze]

i don't know, i don't buy from online vendors. that being said, if you actually read what i posted, i specifically request 5m, UN CUT, from my local dealer, and i have not had an issue..........

From the same topic.

Just a quick update, I have called ECS and FCP Euro, they all sell it by 1 meter piece and would not be able to send me one continuous 2 meter piece. Also, I have called a few local BMW dealers and they do not have it in stock, when I asked if they would be able to order it as one continuous 2 meter piece they were not sure of knew how to even find out. ECS or FCP Euro sell 1 meter anywhere between $36-39 . A few local dealers quoted me anywhere between $75-82 for 1 meter.

I have never had any issues with Gates barricade 5/16" hose, and there are lines on my car that have been there since 2015. The car is turbocharged so the under hood temps and fuel pressures are higher than they are for NA guys, FWIW.

I have a box of this as well. Everything except the moulded hoses around the fuel filter.

i recall seeing a thread stating there was several part numbers for OE hose from BMW. Does anyone else recall this?

As far as I can tell, none of the OEM sources sell pieces of the 8mm ID high pressure furl hose in lengths other than 1m. I ordered 2m from both ECS and Tischer, and they both sent me two 1m lengths which I had to return. So, I did what others have done and ordered some Gates 27335 (27445 is also fine). IIRC the return hose that runs along the top of the fuel tank is like 1.3m, so a longer length is needed there. I am going to do all of the hoses on the car so I just got 20ft (which is way more than needed, but I have another car that I can use some on).

I like the Gates hoses, seem to be high quality. It's what I used when I did my fuel system refresh.

P/N 27340 also works for the 5/16" line.

16 12 1 180 409 is the part number for the green stripe, 8x13 hose
13 31 1 272 731 is the part number for the blue label "Eco", 8x13 hose

i like the green stripe hose, personally. nothing wrong with either, though.

is 13537563456 for ethanol based fuels?

the part number you posted is the S54 5 bar hose. if it doesn't specifically say "J30R9", it isn't technically ethanol compatible, unless there is something i'm missing. that being said, i will still die on this hill - the BMW fuel hose is among the best quality fuel hose you can buy.

i have been using only the green stripe 409 hose or the blue S54 5 bar 456 hose for the last few years and have not had a single issue. good luck.

Totally agree with a30austin, use the BMW hose. I've tried other brands and they tend to crack and leak.
