Replacement Fuel Line -1970 WV Beetle
Hi All,
Need to replace the whole fuel line for my bettle from the fuel tank to the motor .........old copper pipe has snapped off just where it exist into
teh engine compartment. Don't think this one's the original either as it's been fitted directly under the floor pan where I thought the originals
were directed up through the box channels somehow.
Anyway, does anyone know where I can get hold of a replacement fuel line/ fittings etc as I've tried a couple of VW places here in Brisbane and they
don't hold anything for them but suggest you just replace it with copper line from a brake place.
Open to any suggestions from others as to what to get.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!

Thanks Guys,
Have tried Mick Motors AA003 but they don't stock anything. Interestingly Matberry, the current fuel line is actually located under the floor pan. It
appears that it's been replaced before .....the easier way then trying to feed it up the tunnel !!
