Fuel Delivery Options

75 914/4 2.0

Most drawings on fuel delivery that I can find show the fuel pump having three ports. Mine has only two ports (inflow and outflow).

Gas tank and motor are currently OUT of the car.

Looking in the front trunk, there are two fuel lines running to the engine bay. Outbound and inbound. Which of those two are sending fuel to the motor and which one is the return?

Same question on the tank itself. There is a skinny sock filter on the inside of the tank, I'm guessing that is the line sending fuel out of the tank to the motor, correct?

Thanks,

Len,
Although getting the lines out was a bear, you'll be happy with the knowledge that you've replaced one of the most common and pivotal failure points on these cars... maybe even saved your ride from a "car-b-que" in the future. Would stink to do all the work you're doing and see it go up in smoke...literally (many have been there before). The SS lines will last longer than the car does and you won't have the headache of replacing them with the engine in later.

If you think the grommet was a pain to get out, wait till you have to get the new lines back through it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I will second/third/whatever the recommendation to keep the stock FI intact. Not many cars are running around with it, and had my car's harness not been hacked off when I got it, I might have tried to piece together a FI system for it. Furthermore, if (hopefully you never will) you do sell it, it's one more "plus" to have an original fuel injection system in working order, from what I understand.
