I can't be the only owner of a 914 that has had deteriorating rubber fuel lines but I can't seem to find the right posts covering this. Basically the fabric covered rubber fuel lines seem to deteriorate and split probably as a result of the ethanol in the fuel. Does anyone know if there are any replacements that hold up with the ethanol fuel. I ordered a new 7mm line from Pelican Parts and it seems to be the same German fabric covered rubber that was originally installed.

I must say this is one of the easier jobs on a 914. I am new to the 914 crowd, 3 years and was hearing all this and that regarding the original plastic fuel lines. Looking at the project my gut was saying this will be a major pita job. Once I got into it the job went very well, in part due to Mr Chris Foley down at Tangerine Racing. Yes the fuel tank must be removed.
