Volkswagen: 1974 S Beetle Fuel Hose, fuel hoses, filler neck

Question
I have a 1974 Super Beetle and it started smelling like gas a few months ago. I located the smell to the fuel hoses in the front of the car. The previous owner hadn't replaced any of these lines, so they were rotted and old. I replaced the smaller one, but I'm having a hard time finding larger braided fuel lines. I believe the large one was about 3/4 inch. Any suggestions?

Answer
Hi Tamara,

This is a very common problem.   Below are some links to sites that carry those hoses:

www.mamotorworks.com

www.wolfsburgwest.com

www.busdepot.com

Make sure you replace the very large one that leads to the filler neck as well.

Thanks and let me know how you make out!
