    Ever Replace Rubber Fuel Filler Hose?

    Between the gas cap and the gas tank is a metal line about 2" in diameter. However, the last 10" or so it becomes a rubber hose of the same diameter.

    The hose in my car is very dry rotted and I'd like to replace it while the tank is out.

    I want to buy a new OEM part, but I can't find the part number on realoeam.com

    Here's a diagram showing the hose: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...46&hg=16&fg=05

    As you can see, there's no diagram number for that hose and no part number.

    Any idea what the number is or where to obtain the hose?

    Thanks.

            Really easy to do. I did this when I replaced my tank but doesn't seem like it would be much more difficult to do with the tank still in there. Might want to replace the hose clamps as well.
