I have been having fuel delivery problems recently, so I am working at the front and going backwards.
I tried searching the site for pictures of the strainer sock filter thing but didn't know where it was or how it was used. Check out the pictures if you have wondered the same thing. I also got some pictures of inside my tank. Thankfully it is in excellent condition. 3/4 or 19mm for the securing nuts at the bottom of the tank. Pulled both fittings with their short lines off and cleaned with gasoline. You can see them on the red shop rag in next post.    Dirty gunk!  More pics to come! I hate to read, but love to look at pictures!!!! |

The sock costs less than $5 at most VW supply places like Bugformance etc... I love do it yourself too but lots of effort for a $5 part don't you think?

The PO did me a favor by removing the expansion tank, charcoal canister, and support strap (don't know what he did with them). NOT REALLY but did make for easier removal. 80 year old guy that had a funny way of doing things. I found an expansion tank and will add back later. |
