Maybe they had to cut the fuel hose replacing pumps? Easy fix would be to extend it, hard way would be replacement I beleive...

Any oF you guys got an answer to this one? My car's near perfect in performance now (v12 850 '91) but I got this 'big' problem. Seems any time someone sits on the right rear seat, the hoses conveying fuel from the pump to the engine via the filters get loosened and fuel comes spurting out of them. This is specific to one of the hoses. I tried cutting off the frayed ends and retightening them with new clips, but it seems they have got a bit too short so this problem has recurred. Can any one give me an idea of how long these hoses are, where they lead to in the car and any guidelines to changing them. Naturally the car is grounded and a day without my e31 is like a day in alcatraz.

Heeeeellllppp!!!!
