I have tried to search for this but no luck. I have a 325i 86.

I have had a suspicion of my external fuel pump being the culprit to my warm start issue... so I plugged the fuel line just after the newly fitted filter and jumped the fuel pump, instantly the pressure released and I heard fuel leaking on the floor by the pump. I’m guessing it’s just a really old line to the pump (looks original). After jumping it a few times it would not let me jump it again until 20 mins after... so obviously I started thinking gas got to the connection so I’m not chancing trying it again. Pump looks original so thought it’s best to change lines and pump... I’m going to change in tank transfer pump and external... are these 2 parts correct? And is the SKV product sufficient?

The filler line had perished on mine.
Ended up trimming it down, just enough on original pipe.
