Would a rubber fuel hose with hose clamps work?

I've heard from people that have tried and they say it invariably kinks up due to the angles. 30r10 isn't cheap either so if there's a source for a new plastic line then that'd be a better way. I have an email off to JRZ Tuning, who was able to get one for someone.

It isn't designed to be hose-clamped back on but I'll eyeball it when I cut it off.

What's 30R10? I assume that must be ethanol-safe fuel hose?

Yeah, even the single foot I picked up for Scheides on my discount was $14.

woot! Home where she belongs. I guess I lucked out on the days that it was out of service...I had nice weather to be outside working on it.

I don't mind having a nice BMW parking next to me now. Door ding odds are greatly diminished. I think that spot is a condo owned by Regions Hospital. Apparently not an intern this time.

It's a 3 series, so your chances of getting a door ding probably went up.

Photos don't really do justice for how tiny the filter inside of the return is. It was obstructed with very fine particles...looks like rubber and metallic bits.

Ooh, so maybe just cleaning it out will do the trick eh? Or are you drilling it out too?

I'll try it cleaned out first. I had a 255 in my stock hanger when I was STS so it really should work.

Drill baby, drill. :(

Huge improvement but fuel pressure at the engine is elevated by 10psi and at the surge tank by 25psi.

I need to figure out how to remove the return assembly from the hanger. I don't see what's holding it in.

Interesting and directly applicable to me. Would have been nicer if they simply told you how to fix it, eh?
