It gets a 10 (?)mm hose from the left heater elbow supplying fresh air, a 10(?)mm hose from the right where air and gas vapor gets sucked into the engine to burn, and a 5mm hose from the left that comes from the overflow tank in the LF fender. It is almost certain that none of this is working anymore. The steel lines that connect the parts together have all rusted closed inside decades ago. You can remove all of this with no regrets. The overflow hose from the gas tank should be rerouted to a safe place for the gas to overflow. I remove the rubber plug at the LF corner of the gas tank and nip off its end making it into a grommet. Then you can run a small tube down there about 4" which will make a nicely protected tank vent. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
