gday lads.
newbie queston here please dont shoot me down..
ive just noticed a heap of fuel pissing out of the fuel sender thingy on the top of the tank in my 64 bug.
she's coughing and spluttering whilst driving along,also the fuel filter has little to no fuel in it.
i've look under neath the car and the fuel line looks to be fine (no splits or crimps) and the carby looks to be in working order aswell.

any hint of thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

cheers bodie.

the cars just driven 800 plus km's from Adelaide and didn't miss a beat !!!
i haven't touched anything.

its been 20 plus years since ive worked on a vbud so please any help or hint's guys......

Even if the hoses look ok, just replace them anyway if you don't know how old they are.
They can look fine but be perishing internally, especially the stock braided stuff which you cant tell is splitting till it's soaked in fuel.

Hose is cheap and so are new filters.

Re. the coughing and spluttering first thing and easiest to check is crud in the idle jet.

The sender probably just needs a new gasket under it, but try tightening the screws up first.

cheers joel.

it's got a completley new fuel system from tank to carby.

every hose is new,new filter reconed tank and so on.

ill check the idle jet out for gunk.

thanks again joel.

tank filter there is 1 inside the tank on the pick up
