Morning,
I think its finally time to address the fuel smell on my 72. I pulled the tank last night and it looks like the tank was probably replaced at some point as it is near perfect. I ordered new stainless tunnel lines from Chris Foley as well as new hoses and clamps for both ends. My question is venting. There is literally no hoses left in the frunk. It looks like the 3mm lines should all tee together and tie to the charcoal canister. So 2 ports on the expansion tank, 1 port on the filler neck and the then the canister. Is this right? If so then I should need 2 tee's. The overflow hose looks like it is currently NA, 914 rubber is out of stock as are other vendors. Has anyone used 3/4" clear poly tubing in its place? Lastly after I hookup the canister does anyone offer a clean looking solution to tie the suction side into IDF air filters? Thanks. |

So the PET is misleading, looks like the breather on the filler goes straight to the port on the bottom of the expansion tank. Then another line from the side of the expansion tank to the canister. I am more tempted to keep the canister in the frunk out of ease. If I had to guess find the factory bracket to mount it in the engine compartment is near impossible.
What about tying into the weber air filters? Anyone have a clean looking solution? Thanks, |
