That looks like a nice piece, and cheaper than a MB cigar hose.

If they had been readily available a few years ago I might have never started making our adapters. However, one advantage of my piece is that I can bend it into a 90 or a 180, which improves the hose layout in some installations |

Has anybody identified a suitable fuel filter with 3/8" inlet and outlet? This would save trying to round up a weird hose or adapter. After all, you usually need this when replaciing the filter anyway...
Looks like a Wix 33033 might get you there? Gary |

Fram makes an all metal filter with the 3/8 (10mm) fittings on both ends.
Model G15 at a whopping four bucks ! http://www.summitracing.com/parts/frm-g15 |

One of the standard 914 fuel filters basically has this--the same size inlet as outlet. This is the one where you need the "converter hose", because the center tunnel line is larger than the filter inlet. The other one has the big inlet and the small outlet. With this one, you just run the larger hose from the center tunnel line to the large filter inlet. --DD |

Awesome!
That Wix unit is just the ticket! About to get the SS lines from Chris for my ride while engine/trans are out getting freshened. This takes care of the reducer hose. You guys rock! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

I have one of those sitting right here. The old one I pulled out of the car looks identical to the 33274, except it has 8mm inlet and outlet. Wish the part number was visible, but it's worn off. It's a Mahle, but that's all I can make out. BTW, I looked up the Fram G-15 cross on the WIX web site. It does indeed cross to a 33033. Looking more closely at the specs, though, I see the WIX 33033 rated at 20 microns and the Fram G-15 at 10 microns. I think the Fram G15 is the winner! If you happen to be at one of those FLAPs that kind find their own a$$ without looking it up on their computer, just ask them for a fuel filter for a 1973 BMW 2002. Gary |

Bought one like the wix. Don't remember the brand. Check before u buy since mine had the flow backwards. Have to loop the hose to use it. Flow is in on the small end. Out is large end. Autozone sells plastic filter with screw in tips - 3 sizes per kit. I used one for over a year successfully. Finally bought tangerine adaptor. Wish it were about 4" shorter but it does the job with no worry about leaks.

It has a 8mm inlet and 12mm outlet. 33003 has 9.5mm inlet and outlet. 33002 has 8mm in and out. AFAIK Wix doesn't have one with a 9.5mm inlet and 8mm outlet. |

I just know the 33274 was "just right" and "too big." I hadn't actually measured the connections. The 33003 and 33033 are essentially the same, with the 33003 being plastic and the 33033 being metal. Same filter element inside. |

Has anybody used this WIX filter? The description says 7 mm on both ends.
http://vwparts.aircooled.net/Universal-Fue...031-p/33031.htm They are cheap and available at a local FLAPS for under $5. Anything has to be better than the square plastic ones. |

I was thinking since many of the fuel hoses are 7mm, then this would be a good filter. If I can't make this one work, I will try the 33002. It's even cheaper! One of the points that sold me on the 33031 was the application chart on the O'Reilly Auto Parts website (where I bought the filter). The 1970 914-6 was listed, so that was good enough for me. At lease the flow rate should be acceptable. |

VW uses a similar hose. I ordered one for one of my cars. I don't remember where it is used, or where I got it. I have to check my files. Give me a day or two and hopefully I can come up with it.

I personally don't like Wix. I had a problem with flow rate being restricted on my 951 and triggering the oil bypass after about 500 miles. Fortunately I was near the dealership and only had to have the oil changed to fix the problem. Got out with less than $100 bill. For the 914, maybe not as much of an issue, but after that the engineering was a question in my mind.

This is the one I used on my Rabbit a while back. It looks a little shorter and you would have to confirm the diameters. It might be worth a look:
