I know for a fact a fuel injected VW Type 3 (Squareback, Fastback, & Notchback) fuel pump will work. If you happen to know where one is, of course. Good luck!

Oh, wait, I thought you were talking about a stock FI motor but I'm guessing you're talking about a 6-cylinder engine (the heart transplant one)?

I wouldn't risk it. Maybe grab a crush washer & head out to NAPA & see if they can match it up w/ a brake line/caliper one. Good luck hermano.

have a sheet of the non-cork gasket material? cut one out....

sand the existing washers flat..........

That is safer than locktite.....

"borrow" one from an unsuspecting 993?

Howard has one that he never uses, he'll never miss it

try removing one from a banjo fitting on the oil system?
Audi, VW, Mercedes, all have the same size.

Flip it over?
I dont think that 565 can stand gas, it would probably leak.
