Hello. I just purchased a 1970 914-4 and it isn't running right now. I'm going to run a compression test but first I'm draining the gas and oil. I already drained the oil, but now I need to get the gas tank out of the car and disconnect all of the fuel lines. Does anyone have experience with this? Also, I've heard that 914s often suck valves when they go. Is this true? What are some other things I should check for to make it run? Thanks a lot, and by the way, this looks like a great resource as I try to restore my first Porsche.

Welcome.
To yank the tank you'll need to: *Take the suspension shield off (if it's still there). Two 13mm and 2 17mm's *Take off the lines and drain them (fun) *Remove the evap tank and hoses *Disconnect the fuel gauge wiring *Take a big screwdriver and undo the strap. *Comes up and out. Pay attention to where the plastic/rubber side mounts are and to where the carpet strips are. Some suck vale seats but sucking vales only comes from a while of neglect or an improper rebuild. T4's are pretty tough. Good luck. E. |
