Is there anything that I should give attention while the fuel tank is out?
I have already:
Does the box in top center of photo, which I believe is the Fresh air inlet box, need anything and does the fuel tank need to be out to do it?  Our car is a 1970 914-6. My understanding is charcoal canister didn't appear until later. Tips on installing the fuel hose to lines so I don't end up with a leak? Thank you. |

Did you replace old fuel lines that go through the tunnel to engine? Also Fresh air box is best taken out and re installed with tank out. If needed repairs to fresh air box. |

If needed repairs to fresh air box. I took out the original plastic lines and replaced them with stainless steel lines from Tangerine. The car has never been more than a roller since I've had it. Can you offer any suggestions on what to look for with regards to the fresh air box? Thank you. |
