What are you guys doing on fuel lines. I am restoring a early 914-6 with the 2 different size plastic fuel lines through the chassis. I pulled the original lines out, one broke from being brittle and the reason I wanted to change them. What options are out there?
I see stainless steel line replacements. Looks like Tangerine has a set for sale. Anything else out there? |

This question may be heresy, but are SS lines necessary? Would regular steel lines provide a pretty long service life? There is a how-to on the bird for making fuel lines from steel brake line. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) A more basic question is: is having and driving a 914 necessary? If you are going to go to the trouble of updating your fuel lines (which I think is a really good idea to avoid that burnt-up car thing), the incremental cost difference between SS and mild steel lines seems trivial. Especially when reasonably priced SS lines are available sized and bent to the exact correct spec. Please add me to the list of satisfied Tangerine customers. Chris is the best. |
