Trying to get OEM braided fuel hose to replace old leaking rubber connections to fuel pump and tank in 1974 914-4 1.8L. Was able to locate 7 mm i.d. fuel hose but not 9 mm i.d. hose. VW dealers and parts sourcing have 11 mm i.d. fuel hose for type 4 vanagons. Is this what's used OEM in 914's or does someone here know where I can get some 9 mm i.d. fuel hose?
Please post links here. Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Standard fuel hose for 914s is 7mm ID. Non-braided, 50 psi rated. Good VW parts shops will stock it.

Good VW parts shops will stock it. assuming you are running injection: for the low pressure side you can use 3/8" standard fuel hose. for the high pressure side you MUST use 7.5mm fuel injection hose. some auto parts stores carry it, its about $5 a foot i think. 7.5mm was a really tight fit, 7.0mm must be really difficult to install. make sure you replace all the hose clamps with the correct fuel injection hose clamps and dont overtighten the clamps. |

Found a Canadian source call www.germansupply.com that sells german hoses (braided as well as high pressure 7x3mm or 7x2.5mm and as I mentioned 11 mm fuel hose and good clamps that are used in FI VW and 914). BUT NO 9mm hose!!
