I went to start changing out my fuel lines with a stainless steel set. When I pulled the tank out, the rubber lines basically feel apart.
I just took the rubber line off of the tunnel line when I noticed that the tunnel line was not plastic. It's what appears to be cadmium plated steel (my magnet stuck to it). Just as a sanity check, all 914's, particularly a 1974. came with plastic lines down the tunnel, correct? I believe the answer is yes. If that's the case, I can assume that the tunnel lines have been replaced in the past. They appear to be rust free and clean, should I continue with the Stainless replacement or just leave them there? |

If you are in there that deep already, might as well put the stainless steel lines in. Yep, that's what I ended up doing. With a little help from my youngest daughter, we got them in place. Just have to get the tank put back in now and then button up all the bits I took apart. (had to remove the center console to get to the toe board access panel.) |
