While looking at the AA catalog to find fuel hoses, I found a statement that the recall back in the day replaced the fabric covered lines with rubber lines less affected by battery acid.
My one-owner '70 (which was out of the country for much of the early 70's) has all fabric covered fuel lines and they look very old. Could it be that they were never replaced under recall? Will Porsche still honor the recall and replace my lines? I seem to remember reading something on the issue on this board but can't find it through the search feature. |

It's my understanding that the recall is still active (do they ever die?). So long as your 914 has nor been refitted, it SHOULD qualify. Now, I should quailfy this with the fact that many/most were retrofitted with cloth faced fuel lines. AA is incorrect here. Regardless, if the "campaign" hasn't been performed on your 914, they owe you one. My bet is it was done - many years ago, with similar fuel ines, which were fabric covered. Or.....maybe not. Check with your dealer (such as it may be). Pat |
