Hey Folks,

I need to replace the fuel line that is inside the tank. Is this a special hose or can I use any fuel injection hose.

Thanks for the help,

Rich

Hi, Rich,
It is a special hose. It is designed to not only retain the high F.I. pressures, but to do it while submerged in gasoline. If you use normal F.I. hose, it will work until the outer covering is degraded by the gasoline. I have no idea how long that might take.
Ride Safe,

Ok, I found that it is a 30R10 fuel line. Does anyone know where to find it? I haven't been able to locate any. I do know that it is not cheap.

Thanks,

BMW dealer?

I think most auto parts stores that are Gates dealers either carry it or can order it: http://www.gates.com/brochure.cfm?brochure=5091&location_id=541

Thanks for the info. A place here in town says (via their computer) that they have a foot of Gates submersible hose in stock for $26. I'll see if they actually do and if not Bike bandit will work.
