Doesn't look right, it's quite a wide pipe and that link is a small one.

Real OEM has this for the fuel supply on the 318iS:

Which part of the pipe has failed? I recall mine (on a 325) is 2x rubber, 1x metal sections, rubber for the nozzle section and rubber for the tank section and a metal line between the two.

Also, are you sure the split at the tank is the rubber filler line and not the fuel tank filler neck? It's very common for the fuel tank to perish around the filler neck/port and you'd be best off replacing the tank if that has failed (recently changed my tank due to this failure).

Cheers no 19 split at the end
Also the neck/lip of the tank has a small hole.

Also the neck/lip of the tank has a small hole.

This,upon inspection with a wire brush,will rapidly become a large hole,and I would expect that the join between the upper and lower sections of the tank will also be rusty and leaky.
Given the amount of time and effort involved in swapping a fuel tank,a pattern replacement from GSF or ECP would be a good

What price we talking £200 for the tank
And a lot for labour
Take ot its a big.pain of a job

Allow half a day to swap a fuel tank,unless you are fortunate enough to have the use of a vehicle lift!

Last pattern tank I bought was about £150.
