FUEL PIPE HELP!

Post Mon Aug 22, 2005 1:26 pm

Hi People-wondering if you could advise me of where to get metal fuel pipes for an e34/e30?

I've never done a fuel pipe replacement before so any hints, tips or prices would be more than welcome!!!
thanks

8mm copper microbore. available from B&Q.
Some may say dont use copper due to the remote posibility of fatigue fracture, but its up to you.

No. you need to buy olives too, and solder them on the ends.

comes in rolls of 10m i think

the feed and return are 200cm long and the vent is a bit longer (cant remember by how much)
