I have tried read all the posts on replacing the fuel lines before I am posting this. I have been working on a 76 914/4 with FI that runs great ...I have replaced all the brakelines, master cylinder, calipers front and back. Tightened everything and cleaned all electrical connections. THe fuel hoses in the engine bay appear to have been replaced by the previous owner but I do not know about the ones in the center tunnel. I just want to drive the thing but then again I don't want it going up in flames! Is there a good post or can someone tell me how difficult it is to switch out the lines in the tunnel with the engine in? Or should I just drive it?!? I LOVE THIS site!...thanks for the help

I followed pelican and bought 5/16 and 3/8 mild steel brake line from my FLAPS (i feel like such a geek using this for the first time). 60" and 40" each. Instead of using a 90deg fitting i'm going to see if the 60" line is long enough to put a 90deg bend in it. Then go with a compression fitting coupler to the 40" line.
I pulled the tank and yanked the old fuel pump and filter. It was definitely time to replace everything. Haven't pulled the old lines out of the tunnel yet, that's next. I'm going to try it with the engine in. Wish me luck! |
