Fuel Hoses to Sending Unit
Yesterday I was diagnosing my non working fuel gauge on my 85.2 and when I pulled the fuel level sender I noticed that the hoses that ran to the sender were starting to come apart. I was wondering if anyone knew the part number for both hoses and if the tank must be removed to replace them or if they can be snaked to the top of the tank from underneath (I haven't been under the car to see if they are able to yet). It looks like there are three total hoses. I think the feed line come directly from the filter and has one threaded end and one open hose end and I think I may have found a part number for that hose. The other with the sharp bend I haven't had much luck with yet and it appears as if it consists of two parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here is a picture of what I'm looking at:

Reach out to Len Cummings ( Boxster GT ) on the forums ... if there's a hose anywhere on a 911 or 944 , i'm sure he's already made it or will be able to.
He did all my fuel lines when i swapped a 3.6 in my 911.

Nobody has said it but to get at all of the fuel hoses you will most certainly need to drop the tank and for that you need to remove the transaxle so it becomes a rather involved bit of work. The most common complaint is a generic 'fuel odor' inside the car and in this case the offending hose will not be known until you drop the tank and inspect. Looking at your photos, you may be able to just work with what you can see by carefully cutting off the ends and stretching what is left over the nipple.

I would like to do a clutch in the car at some point this year so I can plan on replacing all of the fuel hoses when I replace the clutch. Removing the tank should be pretty simple once the transaxle is out of the way. As of now the fuel hoses do not leak and it gives me time to gather all of the parts needed. This way I should have everything I need when the time comes to replace the clutch and fuel hoses.
