Your car came from the factory with a short piece of hose there, but it's special hose, not fuel hose. The original hose has a light blue external braid and is more compatable with brake fluid than fuel hose will be. After all these years, it's hard to tell the difference between a dirty blue hose and an incorrect black fuel hose. If your hose has a rubber jacket, it's not the right hose. I have the 8mm (mid '67-on) hose, but not the early stuff, which I THINK was 5mm. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
