Sweet. Maybe it's brake lines that just don't come pre-bent. Good prices too.

Thanks for the links, GunMetalGrey, and the responses. This is the first I've found the pre-bent gas lines. And yep much cheaper than I thought. 

@GunMetalGrey, do you have any install tips or online resources that you could point me to?

Tip:. Don't light any matches or plug/unplug anything.

Is this the general method? Saw this posted on another forum:

"Also don't forget to depressurize the fuel system: Pull fuse 11 (I think that's what it is.) and start the engine, the car will consume the remaining fuel in the line and die on it's own, next pop open the gas cap."

I ran into this with an E34 wagon I had in Germany. The rear lines around the tank were all rusted and leaking. Ended up junking the car. Trying to bend the lines and get them right is impossible, and when you bend them, they flatten which certainly restricts the inner opening in the tubing. Hopefully you can find prebent lines. If not, good luck.

if i had an e30 i'd buy a set of these while they are available, even if i didn't need them. hell of a deal.

When i bend lines i fill them with salt. Keeps them from kinking and flattening. Then rise out with brake cleaner.

I hate brake/fuel lines.

Plan on just replacing all of them.

I don't know how I do it but I have gotten really good at bending lines. You need to just go slow and apply even pressure
