Fuel hose part number & rating

[jrobie79]

Looking for part number for fuel hose for my 318iS. It's the line coming from the track to the inlet side of the fuel filter. RealOEM said it's 16 12 1 180 399, however the picture shows that's not necessarily the case, it has the correct bend, but nowhere near long enough. (The two highlighted pictures aren't my vehicle)

Related, is the BMW hose j30-r9 rated or r7? I bought some 8mm hose from Belmetric, rated as j30-r7, but web searches say down injection hose should be r9. Photo of Belmetric hose specs attached as well.

Looking at ETK, that PN does not belong with m42. There is just the 8x13mm hose and then this one hose

13311288284 that has a right angle. I haven't been underneath in a while to remind me of how the hoses were set up.

It's on the m42 convertible, which is where I find a lot of part numbers because the 318iS selection has a ton of missing part numbers. Also, I ordered that one ending in 284, it doesn't remotely resemble any of the lines I removed, and they were all green stripe BMW pieces

Interesting about the vert ETK having more parts but this has happened before for many sections. Let us know how it goes with that 284 hose.

no dice on 284 - that hose is baiscally an L shape with the shorter leg of the L only like 1.5" long and the longer leg about 6/7 inches long.

just used some of my old fuel hard lines (replaced with new), sanded the corrosion and road grime off, used a tube bender to recreate the shape of the old hose, then dunked the new hose in some boiling water for a minute or two, and slipped it over the tube bent in the U-shape (with silicone spray) and let it sit overnight. Hand straightened the tube and slipped the hose off, its about 80% of the original bend, mocked it up last night, looks like it should fit fine, I'll know when I throw the filter on later this evening.

that sucks but your solution is 100% great.
