There are two fittings on the bottom of the tank. Doe's it make any differance which one goes to the fuel pump? Both fittings fit both holes. Is there a surge tank on one of them?

I'm not sure, based on the year/fuel system, but on the 70 914-6 the two tank openings are different. The opening in the tank for the main line is about 10-12mm, and its large enough for the filter screen to be passed though from the bottom into the tank. The return line opening comes to a point inside the tank, and the opening is only about 3-5mm wide. If the tanks remained the same through out the years and the fuel system changes, then it should be pretty obvious when looking up into the tank which opening is which.
Hope this helps, maybe someone with the same year/fuel system can confirm this for you. |
