I'm getting ready to replace the motor in my 914, and while everything is apart I'm considering pulling the gas tank (since its probably never been done) to inspect it/clean it. What are my options for fuel lines? is it possible to run hard line to the rear of the car? Should I switch to braided steel hose with AN fittings? any tips?
Thanks, Alex |

Nice Tech article on Pelican on that. I used 60" flexable steel brake lines I got from local auto parts store. Just had to cut off the flared ends.
I think they were 5/16. Works great with 7mm or 8mm inner diameter high pressure fuel line. The 7 is a real tight fit, the 8 goes on easy, but should be fine when clamped. If you do a search under my name on PP, you'll see some additional stuff on that. The topic came up here as well. Should be plenty of info on it for you. Also, I think you year of car dictates which size line you should get. Mine is a 75. Early I think is different. |
