I own a 2012 Mini R59 Roadster. I have a fuel leak at a connection just below the firewall. Looks like a rodent may have started this. Does anyone know of a good source for fuel line components for my Mini?

Looks like number 2 line? Feed line.

The line up top looks like the feed flex line to the HPFP? Cooper S? Up to 03/2012 production.

It is indeed the #2 feed line. That line attaches to the feed line going to the fuel pump. Is the connector on that #2 line replaceable or must I purchase and install the entire line?

Thanks for your responses.

Thanks!

Plastic line damaged, you will just need that plastic line and you have to disconnect that fuel line which has a special end. If the flex line and fuel line 13537605189 both have damage, replace them both.

 

Thank you for your input.

Welcome.

 

Upon closer examination, the plastic insert that should be inside the connector that attaches to the fuel feed line appears to be dislodged. I cannot push it back in properly. Do I need a tool for the proper placement on this insert? The black insert is clearly visible on the right end (incoming) of the hose pictured below.

TY, Joe

 

Its that one that holds it in. So you can insert it.

So I understand this, the line is disconnected. The clip is inserted on the disconnected male end. The two ends are coupled. The tool is then removed. Correct?

 

Yep, its a holder for the line to push in then the black part snaps back in place.

 

I've ordered the tool from. I'll give it a try.

TY

Ok, thanks and let me know how it goes.
