QUOTE(aturboman @ Feb 7 2025, 02:28 PM)  Its the same grommet used for the plastic brake pipes VW# 111 957 861 I don't believe it changed to the large single grommet until late 74 possibly 75 when the pump got moved up front. This is on an early 914-6 for reference 1970 914 6 2567 Unmolested 914 6 two grommets I can't imagine there would be a difference between 4 and 6 cyl. in this area. I've seen something in two original 6 cars that would be unthinkable today. NO hose clamps As seen in this photo and observed in 914 6 # 1467 I owned both cars and was the first to remove the gas tank in both cars. Also, amazingly no hose clamps at the fuel pump connections either. Attached thumbnail(s)

I was searching through my boxes of salvage looking for this. My car is a six, and the PET shows it using the late grommet with the two holes. I thought I’d lost it. Looking at the bulkhead under the tank it clearly has the two smaller holes, so the PET is wrong.
I really appreciate this thread, I could have gone down a rabbit hole on this one.  |

The upper section is clearly 914 6 with no fuel filter and no return from the carbs but curiously shows the double grommit up front. What it does appear to show is no hose clamps (on a 6) except after the pump to the carbs. I do not recommend this, it is just an observation and very curious. Rory rgalla9146@aol.com |

QUOTE(rgalla9146 @ Feb 9 2025, 06:07 PM) the other example 914 043 1467 The factory used 7 and 9 mm hose over 8 and 10 mm fittings, the hose stretched considerably and was a pretty tight fit. They didn’t appear to feel the need for hose clamps on unpressurized lines as we’ve seen here, and I am not aware of it ever being a problem. I’m putting hose clamps on everything, though. Originality be damned. |

Originality be damned. No pressure. As I said, it would be unthinkable today. Just as an aside, both cars were track driven early in California and serviced by well known shops, one by Roger Bursch of exhaust fame and the other by Vasek Polak I put both of them back in running condition after many years dormant.
