Rubber fuel hose question.

[golfyellowrob]

What size/ I'd/ type of fuel hose do I use for the portion that goes across the car in the Back under the car? The one that connects to the hard line on drivers side under the car.

8mm ID x 13mm OD I believe. Max does also list a 6mmx11mm without reference to whether it was for a different year or not.

Question

In my 76 my fuel line goes thru the cab, passengers side and through the fire wall. I want to run it under the car. Does a system alteady exist?

[Mike Self]

part of the original emission system as his fuel supply line. It originally piped fumes from the collection cannister in the engine compartment to the condenser box (grey plastic container above the right rear wheel well in the trunk) and then on into the gas tank.

Lots of folks who don't live in salt country do this mod for various reasons, but the original fuel line is in fact the self-sealing plastic line that runs along the passenger side of the car inside the body.

BTW, never replace that line with anything else--the plastic is designed to seal itself up in a fire, and is flexible enough to bend in a severe accident. I've yet to see one break.

cheers
