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 |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Put in the steel lines! Having stood on the side of the road and watched my wife's beloved 914 burn I will never have another 914 that still has the plastic lines. Her car was brought back from the dead, and ti won best daily driver at the MUSR a few years ago, but the memory still haunts me. The time and effort involved in replacing the plastic lines with metal is insignifigant in comparision with the time it takes to repair a 914 after an engine fire.
