Evening all, doing a bit of refurb on our fuel tank at the moment. We had to remove (and destroy) the pipe that connects one side of the pump to the other at the bottom of the tank.

Had a look through Real-OEM and I can find a picture of what looks to be the pipe in question but the part number isn't listed for our car ('87 320i) I've tried a few other models and still can't find it.

It's labelled number 4 on here http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mod ... g=16&fg=05

Anyone bought one of these, or know of the part number. If the part doesn't exist we'll just have to make something.

Cheers

Fitted on tanks up to 1987, so yours should have it. Still, it's part number 16111177925

Great thanks, that's what I'm after.

I put mine in as an '87 model but couldn't find it.
