Fuel Line size
Discussion
Good afternoon gents,
I was messing around over the weekend and fired up the 350i. I smelled heavy fuel smell which wasn't two unusual because it does run a bit on the rich side. I looked below and the fuel was pouring out like a sprinkler head. Time for a replacement from the fuel pump forward.
What are the sizes of the fuel hose? I might try to replace with metal except for the couplings at the pump and regulator. Has anyone done it and what did you use?
Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a reason for copper v steel? Corrosion maybe?
Steel may well be used in a production car where the pipe can be production formed and fitted in one piece.Steel is not compatible with aftermarket use as it is difficult to form without kinking.
Copper and Kunifer are easy to form and flare the ends.
It is said that copper is not ideal as vibration can cause it to work harden and fracture which is why kunifer should be your product of choice.
