I can't be the only owner of a 914 that has had deteriorating rubber fuel lines but I can't seem to find the right posts covering this. Basically the fabric covered rubber fuel lines seem to deteriorate and split probably as a result of the ethanol in the fuel. Does anyone know if there are any replacements that hold up with the ethanol fuel. I ordered a new 7mm line from Pelican Parts and it seems to be the same German fabric covered rubber that was originally installed.

OK....I just went through this....when I would head out to the car and see a puddle of gas under it it kinda' ruined my mood to even start the car let alone go on a drive. I used the fabric covered lines to be correct and "european" but the ethanol in Los Angeles chews them right up. The fix is using R30 9 fuel line from Gates or Continental.....Cadna 50087 is the Continental brand at advanced auto parts....what a difference!!!! Good luck....doing all of the work under the car left me with a stiff neck...took two months...no leaks now though....Euro trash !!!
