No, the one Roger is referring to sits at the back of the engine.

You are right, that is not the same hose, however it would be still preplaced with a regular FI hose. Now prepare for the worst whenyou drop the tank. There is a good chance that the hose are fine and the plastic vent tube is broken off the tank. In that case you might need to preplace the tank.


Stan.Shaw@Excell.Net,

I know where you are coming from but why is there always a need for "kits"? I mean, how hard can it be for anyone to just buy 4ft of FI hose and about a handfull of FI clamps to replace all the fuel lines? Is there really need to make a kit? If one can't get 2 simple parts (FI hose & clamps) maybe its not such a good idea to work on the fuel lines.

 

Yeah, this worries me. I'm going to follow Sharkskins instructions while praying to the 928 gods that it's just the hose.

 

I know sell a kit for replacing the engine fuel lines on a 928 85 32V US cars and newer.
The kit comprizes of one Porsche Fuel Hose 928 110 269 01 which fits below the oil filler neck.
Plus 4' of 5/16" (7.9mm) EFI hose to SAE 30R9 and 10 EFI clamps.
Kit price is $51.75 plus shipping.

I prefer to use the Porsche hose for the front of the engine for cosmetic reasons.
If you do not like this option then the kit price is $28 plus shipping

Thanks for your interest.
Roger

 

anything for an 86?

 

Ed,
I updated my post for you.

That kit would fit an S4/GT

 

Stuart,
If you are refereing to a UK S4/GT I belive it will.
Just checked PET and there appears to be no difference.

Hey Roger, would you please post a pic of your 87 install.
Thanks, Terry

 

Because I recognize that I would need to confirm the diameter of all hoses, confirm the length of all hoses, confirm the right size hose clamp, ensure I have all needed tools, etc. Then I would need to source these parts and might find the parts store doesn't have them all, or has something close but different that "might" work.

Bottom line, I know the difference between a definite solution and a possible solution that could be a good way to waste too much time.

I truly respect those who like to do things on their own, but I enjoy using proven solutions.

With regard to my mechanical prowess, it is what it is and really has nothing to do with whether I want to spend the time re-creating the wheel.

I will happily be sending Roger payment for providing a known solution.

 

Time and money are for the most part fungible. At least to the extent that money will buy you time. When you pay someone to do something for you it gives you time to do something else that you prefer doing or for which you make more money than it costs you to avoid the task. If you are one with more time than money and nothing better to do then the choice is obvious.

 

Jim's a wise man. Where does he get all this stuff? He's right you know.

Fair enough, but in the same logic, what about the time spent waiting for the kit to arrive. You are playing with borrowed time, driving around on old fuel lines, when you can spend 30 min and go to the local parts store and get everything you need on the spot. As you can see, its just 4ft of hose and a bunch of clamps (all for FI) and Roger has been saying this all along. Even after the kit arrives, you still have to remove the lines, cut the old lines off the fittings and reinstall everything. Want to really save time? Do it when you are getting the groceries. It will only add 5 min to the trip. However, if the package goes to the post office, you’ll waste just as much time picking it up as getting everything yourself. Maybe I’m just too much of a DIY type and don’t see the logic in this.

 

Imo000,
I guess I wont be sending you a kit?

Jim,
