QUOTE(Front yard mechanic @ Nov 28 2024, 08:16 AM)  I’ve built mine by the book ! I just dont have the book (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Hell, I've looked back on some things I did to my current car five years prior and cringed... But at least I'm confident in saying it made sense at the time and it wasn't bass-ackwards hackage... Not my work (and not my 914):  |

Spent the last couple of days working on the car, trying to see about rearranging the fuel pump and filter. I removed the tank, pump and filter, and then spent quite a while futzing around trying to figure out some place to mount both in the tunnel with the steering rack. Despite trying multiple different locations, ended up deciding that I still preferred how everything fit under the tank. Yeah, I know that means I'll have to pull the tank to change the fuel filter, but honestly, how often to y'all change your filter anyway?
I did make one change to the hoses. Originally, I had cobbled up some brass fittings to go from the 3/8" tank outlet to the 1/2" fuel pump inlet. This time, while I had everything apart, I decided to make an adapter out of a piece of 303 stainless I had left over from a past project. Here it is just before cutting it off:  Here's the reinstallation, before putting the tank back in:  Just a little annoyed that I spent two days getting back to where I was before I started. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) And, since it seems like I'm actually getting close(-ish) to starting this, I ordered a new battery:  Decided to go with AGM, even though it was twice the price of flooded. |
