Changing fuel line (leaks), Not sure if this is coming or going line Options

[boxsterfan]

So, some previous owner of my 1974 2.0L had changed one of the fuel lines coming from the firewall to where it goes up through the engine bay/tray. They changed one of the lines to modern 8mm rubber fuel hose.

However, they left one of those lines as the old "cloth" (?) wrapped fuel lines. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Well, this morning I smelled gas inthe garage and saw that the old "cloth" line was dripping gas. I couldn't tell if it was leaking at the connection goign up through the engine bay or if just the whole line was "soaked".

1. I put a bucket under where I saw the drips coming from and told the wife to stay away from the car today until I get home.

2. What's the easiest way to get access to this area to change those fuel lines? Remove right rear tire and remove the heater box connection?\

TIA....

They make fuel hose clamps so you don't have to drain your tank.

Thanks. I am more concerned though that when I do disconnect the fuel line from the SS line come out of the firewall that I am going to get a flow of gas until I either cap it some how or attach a new hose that is already clamped?

I just don't wanna burn down my 914 (and the house I suppose). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
