I would hold off on filling the tank to the top. Fill part way then start the car and drive for a short distance then, If everything is tight and no leaks, fill the tank.
One thing I like to do when the tank is out, is move the pump and fuel filter to the side of the front trunk area, on th eearly 914s even on a 75-76 914. That way if you have to change the filter. You do not have to jack the car up. Trust that the jack stands will hold and slide under the car, loosen the hose clamps, gas dripping down, remove the old filter and gas dripping down, install the new filter and tighten the clamps. You can mount everything in a secure and safe place. CCLIN914NATION |

Mine is currently underneath the car behind the "skid" plate rather than in the confines of the gas tank body cavity. It had previously been relocated. It seems it would be easier to get to from underneath when replacing? |
