Hello everyone,

I am redoing the fuel lines on a series 3, V12 and I am unclear as to how the fuel lines and hoses are supposed to be routed between the bulkhead and the engine.

The parts manual is very schematic here. Coming from the reaction bracket, the feed line ends vertically near the bulkhead and a hose is connected there, going all the way to the engine?

The return line is even more unclear in the manual.

A picture of a factory standard version would be of great help

Hi,
Sorry for out of focus and grainy images but these might give you some clues.

Great Bob, much clearer now!

Your "return 2" pictures show the return line-to-hose connection very well. Is the feed line-to-hose basically the same?

Thanks, Paul

Hi Paul,
Yes the feed side is basically a mirror image of the return system with a Pclip fixing the flex hose to the RH frame gusset plate - just visible as a blury item at the head of the bottom arrow in Feed-2.

This is the feed rigid to flex transition -

Wonderful, thanks Bob!
