Hey, I removed my fuel tank, had it blasted and am trying to re-install it. BUT there is a blockage in the larger (of the two) fuel lines. It seems to have been there since new?The vehicle is a late '73 and to the best of my knowledge looks like it is original. How am I suppose to insert a (maybe) 3" long screen into this fuel outlet with this circular thing approximately 1/2" inside there? I am trying to get the car up and running to make to the Porsche Swap Meet next weekend.
Thanks for your help. |

Thanks to Jamie (will see you at Octeenerfest) and all who replied to help. It is really appreciated. Figured out where to put the spacers, that just fell out when the tank was removed, and re-in stalled everything including a new screen in the fuel tank, a new filter between the tank and the fuel pump that co-exists with a filter just before entering the engine compartment. The gas should be pure by the time it reaches the engine!!!
Once again I would like to thank all of you who replied. This is a great website. Thanks very much to Peter Egan who was and probably is always right and bdstone who I will meet on Friday at Carlisle for the Porsche Show on Saturday. The 914 was running tonight at 10:00 PM. Just need to re-check all the fuel connections to insure there are no leaks again tomorrow and cover everything back up and will be ready for Friday night in Carlisle PA. Once again THANK YOU ALL for your quick responses and for trying to help me out in my time of need. |
