ANother since I'm in there and plan on replacing all the fuel lines anyway. Might as well move the fuel pump from the engine compartment to ?????? under the tank? In the car or under the car inside the splash shield? Does the return line still hook up the same? and will the plastic fuel line be OK under pressure rather than suction? Looking for best fix rather than cheapest. When messing with gasoline and 914's I have become a little gun shy.

I duplicated the '75-'76 installation by getting the late cover, pump and mount off a '75, cut the bulkhead, got 2 new '75 "pressure" fuel lines from Porsche (still have some in Germany) and replaced the large fuel tank outlet and screen with the later small ones. Still have to move the filter mount.
I would NOT pressurize the old lines as they lack the barbs on them at the hose connections and could pop apart under pressure. The new lines have the barbs built in. Not to mention they are old and brittle. |
