Folks,
I have a 74 914 with a single carb and I'm looking to replace the fuel line from the tank, thu the tunnel and to the carb. I'm having some welding done at a local shop, so the engine is out and the frame is up on the lift... perfect time to replace fuel lines right? The fuel line in the engine bay is "smoky" clear, so I'm assuming its the original fuel line. I've seen recommendations for SS fuel line vendors, but none for rubber/plastic line replacement..... any recommendations? |

For plastic, you could try the dealer. The 75-76 style lines may still be available new. Rubber? Don't do that. It is far too easy to ignore the center tunnel lines--and rubber will eventually crack and leak. And you can't easily get to it in there. And the rubber line(s) are more flexible and more likely to move in the tunnel than hard plastic or steel, and there are things in the tunnel that can abrade lines that flop around. Just get the stainless. You can fake it all up yourself with hard brake lines and a tubing bender, but Chris has already done the layout and bending up for you... --DD |
