QUOTE(Gigamight @ Oct 3 2009, 10:38 AM)  Thanks for the thumbs up on this product. I have been thinking about getting a set. The idea was made a necessity yesterday when I finally got around to removing my gas tank and as soon as I got it a couple inches up I heard ".....SNAP... CRUNCH..." yep, the lines were so bad that the disintegrated as I pulled the tank. I took out a section and turned it to powder with a little pressure. I definitely plan on doing some SS. What about between the SS lines and the tank and then to the pump, etc. My PO had some funky makeshift shite that is lousy, I don't know what is supposed to be there. Can I get something as durable as these SS lines for those runs? Just use 7mm fuel injection line. You can get it from PP or AA or your local VW shop. They won't have it at NAPA or your local auto parts. Don't use 1/4. It will go on if you push hard enough, but if you ever want to get it off you have to cut it most times. Use the right stuff. |

jeff, if you put the little black pieces of plastic tubing (used to protect wiring thru out the car) on the center tunnel line tabs, any chatter is eliminated.

I've had the opportunity to see a lot of the products Chris has to offer. If I still had a 914 I'd be all over these. In my last '74 the plastic lines in the tunnel failed while I was on the Jersey turnpike.
Me: Hmm whats that smell? Passenger: Hey whats this puddle? Dude it's GAS!! Me: Oh $HIT!! Jersey State Trooper: Yooze Guys Okay? Me: Yupp just fixing a gas leak. JS Trooper: I'll call you a tow truck. Me: Not necessary just finished up and we're all set. JS Trooper: You sure? Me: Yupp look no fireball Luckily I had my road bag with me which contained a few small clamps and some fuel hose. Quick patch and clean up and we were back on the road. Speaking of road bags what you keep in yours? I keep some basic tools, tape electric and duct, small butane torch, solder, hose clamps, fuel hose, extra plugs and rags. |
