This is a common and oft discussed problem with all these cars since 1968. The late overflow hose is NLA and you will have to do some kind of makeshift repair. This hose is about 3/4" dia and is nested in just to the rear of the filler pipe. You can see it if you turn the wheel far to the right and then look up under the RF fender. You'll also see where the gas has been washing off the dirt & undercoating from the inner fender wall. The inner end of that hose is inside the trunk. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
