seemingly endless issues with my 914  Group: Members Posts: 218 Joined: 13-February 07 From: Chicagoland Member No.: 7,532 Region Association: None  |
Preparing to install the CFR 3/8" SS fuel line in my carbed '73. I will only be installing the single line for the carbs, so what is the best way to terminate the return line nipple coming off the gas tank? Do I tie both nipples together with a "Y" or "T" connector, or is it best to just block off the return nipple? Either way, what hardware works best?

Just installed my SS line from Chris. Not difficult, but get the rear of the car high enough before you start. Harder part was getting the pump lines the right length under the tank, capped off the return just like the cap'n said - that was the easiest part.

Yes, and relatively easy - removing right wheel makes it easier - took about 15 minutes to get installed without an assistant, rmember to use air to blow out the line after install, i'll guarantee the end cap will fall off and it will pick up crud from the tiunnel. |
