first time i've ever heard of the lines rusting
u parking in an ocean or something ?![]()
After replacing the fuel lines quite a few times on this e34, they are quite vulnerable under the car and here in uk they rust rather quickly.
I know on a citroen we have the fuel lines run inside the car, any thoughts on issues I may have if I run them through the conduit under the carpet on the E34 using high pressure hose

Use the OEM part and seal them with an appropriate underbody coating/rust inhibitor (por 15?)
They should last at least 8 years in extreme conditions. How many times have you replaced the brake lines?

Safety...that seems a bitto me.

id get a bender and make them up from something less reactive, or get some factory lines and encase them in heater hose or something

Silly putting all that salt on the road huh. Why not go for stainless steel? I know you can use braided hose (easy to run but less strong than a solid tube. It can't be that hard, it took me an hour to do a braided line on a turbo Mazda (the original line needed to be made larger)
. It may not be as safe (braided lines) as solid ones (but solid is PIA to put in) If it is beside the rails and well fastened, you shouldn't have a problem.

Don't some rally cars have internal fuel lines too?
