Does anyone know where I can find a fuel filter with 9mm in and 7.5mm out for injection?
I have a '72 with carbs i'm converting to megasquirt.
The stock filter location is before the pump right? The fuel pump has 3 7.5mm connections, correct?
I'm in the process of replacing my fuel lines. The feed is 3/8" and the return is 5/16". I already have a 3/8" filter I bought from summit, what's the best way to get it down to 5/16"?
I've searched and searched... I don't know of any local VW shops around here.
Someone on here mentioned the bosch box style fuel filters can leak after time. Is this common?
Thanks
Pretty sure the filter for the '75-'79 Super Beetle is just what you are after, 3 for $20, and a 25% discount until 3-17-06 I never had a filter leak in the bug, replaced a bunch over 25 years, but only had to buy a fuel pump once, after the thing had probably pumped 50,000 gallons of gashttp://www.800luvbugg.com/shop?frame=3.5032
You could use any fuel pump you wanted, you just have to have the correct output pressure. Those bosch ones are $$$
go to your local AutoZone, and ask for a fuel pump for a 87 Ford Ranger....there is a dude there that used to work for Porsche and when he built a dune buddy VW style (with a big t4) he used this pump.
I'll get the part number tonight.
79.99 vs. what...300 bucks?

Thanks guys.
I'm looking for a filter, not a fuel pump.
That Bug filter looks like its that weird oversized 12mm to 7mm used on the late 914s. Just to clarify that square black filter is for injection? Not carbs?
The PO had one of those(black box) installed on my car, except he used 3/8" hose on both sides. As you can imagine getting 3/8" hose on a 12mm nipple requires some "customization".
I'll stop by my FLAPS and see what they have.
The 9mm/7.5mm is a standard 914 part. I don't remember the year, but a decent 914 retailer should be able to hook you up. Try emailing glenn@pelicanparts.com -- he is one of our Sales staff and a 914 guy, so he should know which filter is which.
Or talk to your own favorite 914 parts place.

I went to my local NAPA auto parts store and asked for a 3/8" to 5/16" filter. He busted out his catalog of all fuel filters with drawings and found one. $16, its for an early 90s dodge or something. When i pick it up tomorrow I'll get a part # and application. It comes with a mounting bracket, and yes its for injection.
No luck finding 7.5mm injection hose though. The 5/16" they had cost $5.50/foot!
Also had them order a bunch of 3/8" and 5/16" fuel line clamps.
