Switching from old messed up FI to a carb.
Do I cap off the return fuel line? And I would like to do all new fuel line from tank to engine bay. It's that plastic line, would I just use a rubber line? And does it snake thru the frame? |

I wouldn't use rubber thru the tunnel, buy the stainless steel fuel line's from CFR racing. He's in the vender's section. John

Is it all bent so it fits and is a easy install?
Otherwise what about just standard ss fuel lines? |

you can get original looking plastic line from industrial suppliers such as Mcmaster.

Please do NOT put plastic line back into the car.
I watched my wife's 914 burn due to bad plastic lines. If you are taking the time and effort to replace the lines, use stainless steel. Here is my writeup on how I did the fuel lines in my six conversion. The kit sold by Chris Foley is just as good. |

I can sell you one pre bent line in either 8mm or 9.5mm. I have a bunch of other fuel line stuff too.
