fuel line in boot

PostPost by: diablo » Tue Aug 02, 2016 7:41 am

Hello
Last month , I was seeking after the reverse switch on the gearbox ; with your help ( thanks ) i found it , take it off , not an easy job , and rewire it OK . To day , I am seeking after the hole where the fuel line comes in the boot . I took a lot of photos when I dismantled my car ; but no trace of this point . When did I lost it ?????
Cheers

I don't think it comes " in " the boot but under the boot to a fitting in the bottom of the fuel tank.

Is this a +2 or 2 seater?

If it's a 2 seater the pick up on the back edge of the tank points to where the hole should be.

+2 has a Banjo fitting on the bottom of the tank that drops through the floor next to the diff under the back of the car.

Here is where the fuel line passes through the rear bulkhead on my S3 SE FHC. Please note that the spare was just resting on the fuel tank in this photo while I was doing some work on the fuel lines.

I replaced manual fuel pump with electric pump and pressure regulator in boot out of harms way , no room for spare wheel now but just carry a tin of tyre foam for emergencies

Thank you for your answer . Sorry , I forgot to mention my car is a baby S4 .
I shall try to find this hole on the place you suggest , if I don't find it ( perhaps it has been fullfil during the body works ) I' ll do a new one in the most judicious place .
Regards
