Since I got my 914 many years ago, my fuel return line has never been used. My setup now calls for use of the return line. I can see the line is intact from the engine bay, through the tunnel- however I am not sure under the tank. Is there an easy way to see if it is hooked up to the fuel tank still without draining and removing the fuel tank?

Ok. I will take a look up there. I have a nice articulating scope I can use if I can’t see.
Also- how difficult are the lines to replace through the tunnel? |

Lube the metal as it goes through the rubber grommet in the engine bay and use a spotter with a small flashlight, looking through the front tunnel axcess to guide the line through the front grommet into the gas tank area. Doing it with the engine in is possible but I haven’t done it. |
