Own a 74 2.0. Replacing the fuel filter. Current one has no hose clamps and diagram on web shows no hose clamps. Just want to make sure I don't need them since these cars are already fairly flammable.

So it's possible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Don't take me as gospel on the FI low pressure side having no clamps, I'm not 100% on that. But on carb cars like the type one engined beetle, bus and T3, using OE german braided hose I am 100% sure VW never used hose clamps of any type. Pushed on far enough you couldn't get the hose back off without cutting it. Did this for years, never an issue. I no longer use this hose as I see it cracking in as little as one year even with pure gas. Haven't seen a failure do to this cracking, but I'm taking no chances. Now I only use SAE 30R9 even for carbs. |
