Fuel line Check valve

[SnakeyesTx]

I saw the hot-start fix page with part number and searched for it on BMA and it came up blank. I even e-mailed them and asked for a part number, and I'm pretty sure they gave me the exact same number of 16 14 9 068 988.

It still comes up with no results. All I see in fuel injection/fuel pump parts are BMW###### and Bosch###### (6 digit numbers with BMW or Bosch in front).

Does someone here have the part number that will come up on their search tool? I've been trying to order this for 5 days now >:O

BMW has a kit available that is an external check valve, hose and some clamps. BMW p/n 16 14 9 068 988. Price was less than $3.

That's the number!! BMA gave me that number too but they don't have it listed on their site under it! >:(

BMA has much more than what is listed on their website. I spoke with Patrick yesterday, they are in the process of reworking the website and it is not fully updated. He said even if the part shows out of stock to CALL, they had what I needed even though it was listed as out of stock.

They are very helpful there, don't hesitate to call them with a question, you also get better prices by calling and talking to them. Patrick overnighted my part to the east coast and split the shipping, (only cost me $20) otherwise normal ground shipping on anything over $50 is free.

Good to hear, will do in the morning. They're in California right? I'll probably have to call around lunchtime :D
