I see a few companies are selling new stainless steel fuel lines, new fuel lines on our 50 years old cars is generally not a bad idea, but how about if they appear to be in good condition? The feed line on our car is about 10mm OD with a 1mm wall. While we are in there should they be replaced for good measure.
Thanks |

There are lot's of threads on the samba about refilling a charcoal canister. On my early car, the end is not removable so I took a 2" hole saw to it, filled it up with fish filter charcoal and duct taped over the hole. I made the hole on the bottom so you don't see the duct tape. The fish charcoal isn't supposed to be as good as the original but it works fine and is cheap. The original canister can also be taken out of service and left in fresh air for the charcoal inside to refresh. So having two canisters and switching them out every couple years is also an option.
The other thing is to make sure all the rubber hoses are good and on the fuel hoses, use the correct fuel clamps, not the worm drive ones. |
