The Headache

Last night I was hoping to spend some more time attacking the fuel lines. BMW conveniently uses a lot of rubber hose and hose clamps to assemble their fuel systems. It makes plumbing adaptation not hard. My biggest hold up right now is getting the 3/16" Ford line to adapt to the M3 1/4" line. I'd like to adapt a 3/16" brake flare to NPT and then go from NPT to hose-flare of some sort. Finding that set of adapters was difficult. I tried a local hardware store and a set of parts-stores fitting bins. I may have to concede to running some more expensive AN adapters from a parts catalog.

Unfortunately, I was never able to get to the garage last night. After getting Anja from daycare, and getting some dinner with Anja and Susi, I ended up having a terrible migraine. I was stuck in bed, with the lights off all night, barely able to see/speak/hear anything. Some ibuprofen and 10 hours of sleep/not-sleep later I'm feeling better but I lost an entire night of progress.
