Do you have to use the $12 each Fuel Injector Line Elbow's
What happens if you just use fuel line? Are folks buying 8mm fuel line? Where? Thanks |

7mm ID or 5/16ths line work well. I though you could also go super short on them, so there is only a fraction amount of hose between the injector and rail. Might be worth testing. It will drop the rails down abit lower. With the longer lines, I didn't like the way it was butted up under the MPS. Alot of guys are using the R009 rated fuel line now to combat the ethenol gas.
BMW also has rubber elbows that are much cheaper than the OEM ones. They are probally 8mm ID. Should be a thread somewhere on it. |
