Nice. Does it say who makes it for BMW?

Hi all. I work for CRP in the product division, but have been a R3v member since long before I started with the company. Therefore, I'm not on here looking to speak on behalf of the company. I'm just here as an E30 guy like everyone else here.

But I wanted to say that I see all these issues you've all mentioned, and I will make sure to have CRP look into them. A lot of CRP's fuel lines are coming from OEM/OES manufacturers in Germany. For example, the 8x13 hose 13537563456 which I personally use in my turbo car. So I suspect it's only a select few that may be troublesome.

88Sedan FCP only sells 16121180409 as genuine only? maybe that changed though, Would be interested to know which part number you purchased

i bought 3 off 16121180409 (genuine) from schmeidmann and it came with a single 3m piece (not 3 pieces each 1m)

I ordered 3 meters of windshield washer fluid lines from FCP last year; It's sold by the meter and I bought a quantity of 3. Some idiot went out and measured/cut three 1m length of hose and shipped it to me.

I complained and requested them to send a single piece, but their customer service rep tried to tell me it comes precut. I told them it would be insane for a hose manufacturer to precut instead of putting it on a reel, and I asked them if they had gone to the floor to see if it was actually precut or on a reel. I eventually received a single 3m hose in the mail.

I will have to check the car/ through a big pile of receipts, which I will do soon.

Curious on what lines/parts you're running from Evil? I've yanked out my entire fuel system and was looking for options on reinstall.

Been using 5/16 30R10 for fuel rail / external stuff, 30R9 for submersible in tank applications (also 5/16) and 30R7 (3/16) for some evap tank vent purposes (E32 in my case)

Will keep an eye on how it lasts, but been using that stuff off and on for a few years and still looks good as new.
