Hey Everybody. I have been searching for an hour with no luck. I have a 1976 914/4 that I have converted over to 44mm Empi's. Now I am setting up the fuel system, new low pressure pump, stainless lines, presure regulator, etc. what I can't figure out is what to do with the extra line I have on the fuel tank. Should I cap it? Vent it? I did run both stainless line back to the engine bay so I could t them in or what ever. I just need some guidance.
Thanks in advance. Robin |

FWIW, the main purpose of the thermostat and air flaps is to get the engine up to operating temperature faster. Why would you want to do that? A lot of reasons. The colder the motor the richer the mixture, this means higher emissions, poorer fuel economy, more engine wear (cylinder washing by richer mixture), and fuel dilution of the crankcase oil. It also means that it takes longer to drive off dissolved water in the oil, leading to more internal corrosion and increasing the tendency of the crankcase oil to sludge.
The problems are more pronounced if you use the car mostly around town, and go through many start/stop cycles. If you only drive the car on the freeway for long distances, it probably won't matter as much. |
