    fuel line keep leaking

    First fuel injector line started leaking now FPR return line started leaking. I want to replace all fuel line. Do you guys know if there is any diagram? I can see there are two line coming from firewall but don't know about bottom of the car to fuel filter.
    Where to get fuel line and how long do I need it?

        anything printed as being compatible with SAE 30R7 is NO GO. that's low pressure stuff.

        anything printed with SAE 30R9 is appropriate as it is rated for fuel injection.

        You are looking for 5/16" ID, about 2m worth.

              Yes, buy the overprices OEM line for no reason!

              NO.

              Just buy 5/16" FUEL INJECTION line and you'll be fine.

                Fuel injection hose is only needed for the high pressure lines. You can use ordinary fuel hose for the low pressure lines to save a bit of money. If you replace one hose at a time, no diagrams or docs are needed.
                The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

                  You've got me there, I should have mentioned that as well.

                    O'Reilly's has that junk by the foot. And most of it is FI rated. Should be stamped on the hose.

                      SO just get fuel in going to fuel injection high pressure lines. Going back line to fuel tank ordinary fuel hose, correct?

                        Replacing the little lines by the fuel filter on late models requires the actual preformed lines from bmw. I tried it with regular fuel line and they kinked. I also invested in real oetiker clamps, which are not the easiest to deal with in confined spaces but are much tidier.

                          Not true. I bought some line a replaced it and it was fine. As long as you replace the hose and how its curved from factory.

                            OK, I'll rephrase, I didn't like the way the line looked plus if I remember right the 180 degree line is bigger on one end.
