Hey Ya'll, Doin a few things to the 85rs that have needed tending to and I got a question that the local BMW dealer can't seem to help with. Its the hose that comes off the top of what I believe to be the fuel regulator (tucked behind the filter box) out to the left side of the fuel rail. It appears to be a special hose that has a hard glossy out shell with a softer inner hose. I know, sounds more like a candy bar...but the dealer ordered what he thought it was and it came in labeled vacuum hose and it doesn't have the glossy shell which I thought was maybe a heat shield of sorts. I've read posts on this very hose but none has talked about the hose itself...lest not that I could find. Any ideas?
