Late Bug Fuel pump hose config
All right - dumb question time. I changed over my engine bay fuel hoses tonight for new stainless braided ones. I got distracted half way through
whilst both hoses were off and couldn't remember which port on the pump was the outlet to the carb and which was the inlet from the tank. I looked at
the old hoses and they were shaped enough for me to work it out. Can someone help me out ? Is a stock fuel pump and has two ports close to each other
but at a slightly different angle. It looks like one of these dalek-style ones
I think the outlet to th carb is the top one.
Cheers Pete

there are a few different pumps about now...
easiest thing is to put the fuel hose on one and a hose off the other one into a bottle
and turn the engine a few times...
if it has fuel in the bottle... its the right one...
If No fuel its the other way round...
Yes, I think the fuel goes in the bottom and is pushed up and out to the top...

Other way around guys.
With the press top pumps like that the inlet is the top barb and outlet to the carb is the bottom.
With the original German ones the top unscrewed off and there was a screen to clean under it.
The new repoop ones like that have no screen and are sealed up but still work the same way.
It's just the old bolt together style pumps that have the outlet at the top.

Thanks and Lee, it is an OE one and does have a screw in the top. As an aside, the fuel filter used to be between the pump and car by, but I am
relocating it to under the body. The filter was filthy withy gooey red shite. Insect and clean fuel tank just made the small project list. Thinking
that through, the pump will likely need a strip, clean, re-gasket.
