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? |

This job goes a lot quicker when you already know what to do.
In my shop, EJM routinely installed new ss lines by himself with the engine and the tank in place. We only removed the tank if there was another reason to do so. |
