BMW Fuel Line Hose Clamp Tool - Baum B161001

Product Information

A fuel hose is a flexible tube designed to transport fuel from one component of the fuel system to another, such as from the fuel tank to the fuel pump or from the pump to the engine. Made of rubber, synthetic materials, metal pipes, or reinforced rubber, fuel hoses are built to withstand the pressure, temperature, and chemical exposure that comes with handling fuel. Fuel hoses are essential to the proper functioning of the fuel delivery system and the overall performance of the engine.

• Fuel Leaks: The most obvious and dangerous sign of a failing fuel hose is a fuel leak. Leaking fuel not only causes performance issues but also poses a significant fire hazard.
• Fuel Pressure Loss: A damaged or leaking fuel hose can cause a drop in fuel pressure, leading to inconsistent fuel delivery to the engine. This may result in hesitation during acceleration, poor fuel economy, or misfires.
• Decreased Fuel Efficiency: Leaking fuel due to a compromised hose can cause fuel wastage, which will reduce your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

About BAUM

Baum Tools Unlimited, Inc. was founded in Los Angeles, California in 1959 by Charles Baum. Beginning as a tool jobber driving a VW bus all over the US, Chuck supplied Volkswagen and Porsche dealer technicians and repair shops with metric hand tools from Belzer Tools of Germany. Soon realizing that the use of VW special tools not only saved time for the mechanic, but generated higher earnings for the repair shop, he expanded into the growing line of VW and Porsche special tools. As his customers businesses succeeded, so did Baum Tools.

As the business grew through the 1960’s, Baum Tools expanded into Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volvo and Saab special tools. In the mid 1970’s Baum Tools opened a Southeast division. In 1983 complete operations were moved from Los Angeles to Sarasota, Florida.

Baum Tools has now assembled the most comprehensive “in stock” selection of OEM and aftermarket special tools for VW – Audi – BMW – Mercedes – Porsche – Volvo – Saab – Ferrari and Jaguar available anywhere in the world. With the 1997 addition of the second warehouse in Sarasota Baum Tools has more than eight thousand different items in stock. This makes Baum Tools a one stop shop for the European automotive repair and service specialist.

As a leading importer, manufacturer and distributor of European automotive special tools, Baum Tools has imported and distributed Stahlwille, Deutronic, Hazet, Matra, Peisler, Matador,Geodore, Belzer, Wiha, Wera and Kukko as well as most of the small contract OEM tool companies that have been building special tools for the German car manufacturers for years.
