Hello,
I recently bought my first 914, and within a couple of weeks, gas was pouring out the bottom of it. The previous owner had rubber fuel hose running from the gas tank to the fuel pump in the engine compartment (carbed car). This line had cracked where it exited the firewall under the enginer compartment.

So I am going to replace the tunnel line with stainless, keeping in mind this car is now carbed, does it matter if I use 9.5 or 8mm? Also, where the fuel line exits under the engine compartment, is it best to just connect up some hose to run into the compartment, or is there a better way? It seems the lines are pretty exposed there.

Thanks!
James

Those are OD measurements.
It would be better to use 9.5mm for the supply side.
