I am installing a repro fuel tank in my "68 and the inlet on the tank is round rather than the stock one which appears to be oval shaped. So I understand I need a steel inlet tube that connects to the fuel filler at one end with a rubber tube and connects to the tank with another rubber tube. I am told this is stock on a '68 or later but it is not stock on mine. Anyone happen to have one of these steel inlet tubes?

The standard beetle (1300 or 1500) from '68-'70 had the filler neck welded to the body. You want the filler neck from a '71 onwards car, possibly only in Super beetles (S and L).

I think I might have one of those down stairs... I'll check in the morning.

Thanks waveman. The filler neck is welded to the body and then connected to the orig tank via a 300mm long rubber tube. I need to be able to replace this long tube with two short rubber tubes with a steel insert tube in the middle. It is the steel tube in the middle I need (so I have been advised). Diameter would be around 46mm I think

Thanks guys. I have sourced a tube from Aust VW Performance.
