Does this look correct? This is on the passenger side, in front of the rear tire. I had been looking for something like the Mahle canister.
 (Sorry for the bad pic!) Pelican sent me a Mahle filter...round, not square...can I use this? Part# 311-133-511-D-M67 Mahle KL 11 OF 1971 Car, 2.0 with some various bits from a 1975...just trying to sort what's what. |

QUOTE(Jamie @ Aug 26 2019, 04:25 PM)  What material did the factory use for fuel lines through the tunnel when fuel pump was relocated to the front? Not exactly sure. It has been discussed before & you may be able to find it with a search of the board but the two types of lines are easily distinguished. The early lines are clear/opaque while the late Hi-pres lines are Black. |

The early lines are clear/opaque while the late Hi-pres lines are Black. Pretty sure they used the same center tunnel lines regardless of where the fuel pump was. My 76 had the clear/opaque lines and the factory mounted front pump. That said, I pulled those lines out and replaced them with SS from Chris before i ever fired the motor on my car. The lines in my BMW '75 2002 were the same exact material. I'm replacing them as well. the theory in the BMW community is that in the event of a fire, the plastic would melt closed and keep new fuel from feeding a fire in the cabin. Ha ha ha, good one Potsy. Going to metal lines in the '02 as well and not routing them through the cabin. The plastic tunnel lines were never designed for ethanol. Everyone should pull them and replace them. I have a picture of a plastic fuel filter that was on my car when it had carbs, and the plastic is sagging due to ethanol. Scary. Zach |

Having gone through an engine fire, I can tell you for sure that the plastic lines won't melt closed, they just melt holes in the lines so the gasoline can feed the fire! |
