Fuel Lines for 914-6, Engine Bay Routing Options

[DennisV]

Does anyone have photos or videos of the fuel line and hose routing for 914-6? Engine bay in particular with stock fuel pump location. I found a lot of fuel line threads and a tutorial, but they all seem to be -4.

I replaced the plastic center tunnel lines with stainless steel fuel lines from Tangerine. I'm sure there are things missing from the engine bay, but since I didn't remove it am relying on parts catalog to ID stuff which isn't very helpful with routing.

Thanks.

Like this? Cold start valve connection removed a long time ago.

That is helpful. Thank you.

Your first photo I assume is #14 from the parts catalog. Is that the only hard line other than the fuel rail and what comes through the tunnel?


I hope I oriented these through the tunnel correctly, as they are different diameter. Were a bit of a hassle to install through the grommets.

That line #14 is original on mine; actually I'm not even sure if it is metal or nylon. I can check tomorrow.

Interesting the diagram doesn't show the 'T' for the cold start. Maybe the engineers wanted to erase that idea...

I have a set of steel lines from Tangerine also, been sitting in the box over a year now. Figure it will be much easier to install them if I pull the fuel tank (done several times) and the engine (hasn't been out of the car in almost 40 yrs..). Just getting the motivation and trying to avoid the "while I'm here...".

I provide part #14 in my 914-6 three piece sets. My version is a 16"long piece of 8mm with a shallow bend at each end. The original was a piece of nylon which was probably shorter than my piece.

The tunnel lines look good, btw.

I got my kit from you Chris. It's now more clear where the 3rd piece goes. Does it have an orientation?

Here's a photo what I removed. It appears to be copper tube.


Thanks for the confirmation on the tunnel lines.
