i'm looking to repair a fuel line leak in the hard line. Does anyone know if you can run the rubber line all the way from fuel rail to the fuel filter?

I did the fuel (and brake) hard lines on my '89 IX three or four years ago with the BMW OEM pre-bent lines. Easy peasy. These were the costs of the lines back then ...
fuel return hard line ($34.92)
fuel feed hard line ($34.92)
fuel vent hard line ($15.87)
IMHO - using rubber line instead would be too vulnerable to road debris and potential damage. No one likes to see an IX in flames.101

I did the fuel and brake lines on my rallycross ix nearly 2 years ago with off the shelf line. Pre bent is my recommendation, but doing it from coils and making bubble flares is really not that hard. My only recommendation with that method is do not use steel lines, you will suffer. Get the copper nickel brake lines and you will have an easy time of it. They also won't rust.AWD > RWD
