apparently, non-OEM BMW 8x13mm fuel hose has been on back order for well over a year! i just browsed a few websites and BMW Fuel Hose (1 Meter) - Genuine BMW 16121180409 is available for 49.09 per meter from FCP Euro and Turner Motorsports. not a big deal, but surprised that continental 8x13mm fuel hose has been on back order for well over a year.
anyone else know about this or have any recommendations? i need to buy fuel hose, so i guess i will have to buy the oem bwm fuel hose.

Local auto parts retailers should carry 8 mm (5/16) fuel injection rated hose. E24 fuel injectiion systems run at 43 psi so make sure to purchase fuel hose capable of handling the pressure. Cheap regular fuel hose will last a little while but it's a major risk

Is there reckoned to be any kind of issue with fuel lines if running E10 fuel? If so, is E5 still ok?

we have 8x13mm fuel hose!
thanks jps635 for the bimmerworld link. they quickly shipped me 2 meters of fuel hose and i also ordered new fuel pump and main relays. the fuel pump relay is to help diagnose a random stalling issue.
