    Is my gas line loose

    Cleaning my engine bay I notice that there is a lot of play in the gas line connection to the fuel injector rail, is this normal.

    First picture pushing the line,
    Second picture is pulling the line.

    There is like 1/4 gap/play in the line.

    Is this normal.

    Thank you

    Is it leaking? That connection looks similar to the one used on the M54 engine. It’s ok if it can slide a bit.

    Yes, normal. The seal is circumferential to the metal line, so the connector's placement horizontally on the line isn't important, so long as it's locked in place.

    It won’t let me put my car info in my profile,
    2006 Z4 3.0i. N52 engine.

    No leaks, I guess is normal based on responses.

    I’ll keep checking,

    Thank you

    Try again, the model details you can add under settings on top right, not under "my profile".
    Helps us to help you.
    A profile picture is not yet possible, needs more posts.

    I will now move the thread to the Z4 forum from General BMW
