The fuel in there is unpressurized, so you can really use almost anything, but it needs to be able to carry a fair amount of flow, since the FI fuel system flows a lot more fuel than it actually uses, thus the flow is greater than in most carbed engines. Breather box? Do you mean air cleaner? If so, the OE air cleaner should have motor oil in it. Fill it up ONLY to the level of the step inside. That's about 3/4" deep. Or I guess you probably actually mean the engine breather box. 70- 3 FI engines have no "filter" in there. Earlier cars did, but it's really not a filter, it's more of an oil mist coaleser (sp?) - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
