Supply and return lines. Same reason the pump has three connections. There is a fuel system diagram around somewhere.

What he is saying is that his has a seperate hole for each line compared to many cars that have one big oval one for the grommet holding both lines. I don't know why it would be like that, what is the manufacturing date on the car?

Those are not the fuel line holes. They are located on the drivers side. Look for a BIG rectangular rubber grommet with 2 holes. It leads into the tunnel.

Can't be, there is not enough space with the pedal cluster, master and all that to have fuel lines also. Also all stock car gas tanks have the lines on the passenger side. Something else.

From the VIN and chassis #, the chassis build date is late April 1970. I have little experience with early cars since VW Canada did not import 914's until 72 model year. I did have a 71 however. Perhaps this is the way they built them early on.

Sorry (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) , you're correct, those two small holes must have preceeded the big rubber grommet. To answer the original question, two holes for supply and return.

Maybe the grommets for the fuel lines at the firewall will fit in your case, after all they are for the fuel lines and are seperate. If not maybe a early 911 application?
