    Fuel Hose Identification

    Hi all,
    My 320i has been leaking fuel when the system pressurizes on the banjo bolt and on the fitting between said banjo bolt and the braided fuel hose connecting the fuel distributor to the hard lines. RealOEM does not have a part number.

    Can you identify the part numbers 1 and 10?
    If there isn't a part number, is there another way I can get these hoses?
    The fuel return line does not seem to be an issue, however for peace of mind, I would like to just go ahead and replace both as a pair.

    The darkened area on the fuel distributor "cap" is from fuel pooling here, it had just flashed off when I took the pictures.

    Thanks.

    *I think what you did was click on the picture for the 2.0L version by mistake.

    Thanks Epmedia.
    Order just placed to FCP Euro.
    ECS has it at $5.00 cheaper but I think that lifetime replacement guarantee might pay off since Im sure they're not made like they were in the early 80s.

    To prepare you... Be aware that braided pressure line can be quite a buggar to remove from the hard line. And don't mess up the nut or ferrule (slip-ring). Hopefully the old slip-ring is still servicable and seals good to the new fuel hose, otherwise the hard line will need to be cut and new (aftermarket) slip-ring and nut will have to be sourced.

    If not replacing the slip-ring and nut, make sure that old slip-ring has no rough edges that could damage the new hose-end (it looks like brass in the picture? if I recall, the OE fittings are steel).

    ... something like that, just be careful and observant
