QUOTE(Phoenix-MN @ Jul 20 2007, 07:30 AM)  I'm using both the socketless hose and braided hose. The socketless for connecting to the SS 3/8in. lines in the tunnel and stainless braided for the rest of the car (boy! the $$ add up quick). The Aeroquip AQP socketless hose and fittings really grip and make a solid seal, the stuff works real good. If I was to do it all over again I would probably use the socketless hose throughout. Paul Paul, that "socketless" hose and fittings sound interesting. I read the blurb on them at summit racing, and they say you just slide the hose onto the barbed fitting, and that's it. No hose clamp ? How hard is it to get the hose over the barb ? |

The socketless stuff does take a little "grunt" to put them together. Anyone with strong hands can put this stuff together. I used a little oil to lube it up and once together and sitting for a day the only way to get the hose off the connector is to cut it off.

For socketless and assorted other hard to install rubber hoses, etc, I use K-Y , hold the comments........... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) After some amout of time, it simply disappears and it's not nearly as messy as using oil. Also good on assorted water hoses that are not resistant to oils. Andys |

Do you still need strong hands ? I hope you never have to cut off the hose ! Sorry, I tried to hold it back, but I couldn't. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

CB Performance (VW shop) sells AN 6 tank adapters (same size and thread as our 914 tanks). I used the stock tank screen, cut the extension that goes outside of the existing tank off so you only had the extension going inside and then the CB adapter. Then I went AN all the way back to the engine. I created a thread on plumbing the fuel system for my 3.2l conversion which shows the components for the tank, fuel pump, tunnel and engine compartment.
