Damn i dont know about that...ill doo other shit but not fuel lines and im asking if anyone knows a price?

go to your local library and look into the mitchell guides for a time quote, then call around and ask the hourly rate at your local shops.

I will guess about 4 hours from the tank forward...so about $400.

After you take it in the butt to replace fuel lines, you will wish you had followed Zimmie's advice...you could rent a car cheaper!

BTW, who said you need new fuel lines?

well my 318 hass been sitting for about 5 years so all the shit might be corroted.

Just how much of the fuel lines is rubber in an E30 anyway? I've got to say for all the things that are clearly designed better and made to last longer on the E30, I was pretty disappointed to find out that it uses rubber fuel lines anywhere. The 89 Camaro I had didn't have an inch of rubber line anywhere, it was metal from tank to injector...

There is some rubber in the lines under the hood and right around the fuel pump, but the majority of it under the car and on the engine fuel rail is metal.

To use all metal lines under the hood is a terrible design. You need some rubber flex in it to account for the engine moving around and vibrating or else the metal will eventually fatigue and crack.

Thanks for the info
