VW Fitment & Compatibility

This 1/4 inch (approximately 6mm to 7mm) ID fuel hose is the standard size for the majority of aircooled Volkswagen applications. It is compatible with the VW Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Bus, Type 3, and Thing. It is also the go-to choice for custom Dune Buggies, Sand Rails, and Manx-style builds utilizing standard carburetor inlets and fuel pumps. This roll ensures you have plenty of extra line to replace the entire run from the tank to the engine bay.

Pro Tech Tips for Fuel System Maintenance

Tip 1: Inspect for Dry Rot Regularly. Aircooled engines operate at high temperatures which can cause rubber components to degrade over time. Check your fuel lines every oil change for signs of cracking or hardening, especially near the engine tin where heat is most intense.

Tip 2: Use Proper Fuel Line Clamps. Avoid using standard worm-gear clamps that can "pinch" or cut into the rubber. For the most secure and leak-free seal, use fuel-injection style clamps or high-quality spring clamps designed to provide even 360-degree pressure around the hose.

Tip 3: Safe Routing is Essential. When installing your new 25-foot roll, ensure the line is routed away from sharp metal edges and the exhaust system. Use rubber grommets whenever the fuel line passes through the chassis or engine tin to prevent vibration from chafing through the hose.
