I can't get the CSi return line 16121113488. Is here a new part number or does the line from another model work? What are people using for their Motronic or L-jet return lines? What model year 318is were a good donor for the fuel tank pickup/ return or is there an even better option?

Thanks

Go to the bone yard and pull the lines out of a 7er.
Go to Home Depot and get a pipe bending tool.
 
There are two 6' sections that are straight running along the rockers. Use dykes and cut them out.
 
Don,

You must be jet lagged, I think you meant dike and not dyke. And how is Maui anyway, any fine island wine tasting on the agenda?

:D
 
These would probably work. I bought one new a few years ago (don't recall the specific part number or source). Since they run parallel you can use two of the same pipe.

One advantage of making a custom pipe is you can make it a bit longer at each end so that it is easier to attach the hoses, especially at the front.

Don - would you connect the two 6' pieces in the middle under the car after bending them to the right shape?
 
Whoops- I was thinking of the lesbian motorcycle parade in San Francisco.

Dikes is another name for an Ozark Credit Card.
