73 2.0 L d jet 914 With the fuel pump relocated to the forward position in the tierod compartment--- I am installing new fuel lines and I have lost my orientation. As the two lines exit the firewall the larger one goes on up through the forward/rear grommet into the engine space? Then it connects to the passenger/driver side fuel rail? I believe I have thinge messed up because I turned the key on and fuel spilled out the front drain hole just behind the tierod compartment. Another learning opportunity for me.
Thanks, Jim |

The larger line is the feed line. When the pump is located in the rear of the car, it gets the step hose attached to it, then to the filter, then a 7mm ID line into the pump. Not sure how the plumbing is worked out when it's relocated. Think there would be a size issues.

He's all set after a quick phone consultation.

You do free phone consultations???
I am in! How about a consult about the correct initial setup of some Webers? ( I have purchased from you in the last few months ...;-) IME - CFR is a great resource to the 914 community ! BTW - I just did a complete replacement of both fuel lines thinking I was going to do the stock FI, then changed my mind & bought carbs. So I have an extra tube from front to back. I figured I would use it as a conduit for wiring for the fuel pump relay with the pump in the front. Stu |

I'm thinking of relocating my fuel pump from the stock location ( for a '74) to below the steering rack (as opposed to below the gas tank). How much would I expect to pay a good garage for this?

I was really kidding.
Just trying to get a rise out of Jake after the discussion on his forum about 'requests for "free info"' ......;-) You would have some serious orders from me if I were only a little more endowed with the $$. I have to stay away from your website because I start thinking of selling the wifes jewelry when she isnt looking. Stu |

I was really kidding. I don't really sell Webers either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But we do have a new EFI intake setup in the works. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
