Buggy has rubber fuel line fitted all the way from the metal fuel pipe out the tunnel right up to the fuel pump. Is this the way the rest of you run?
All the beetles ive had in the past run a metal line around the fan housing with a short length of flex onto pump.  Engine is a 1600 Twin port  with single carb.

Thanks.

No right or wrong but the best place for a filter. Good quality hose equals less joints, solid line equals more joints but less hose to perish and more pipe to corrode.

Thanks for the reply i will keep it with the rubber hose then but add a filter just after where it comes out of the tunnel
Thanks again.

Just make sure you use R9 ethanol quality fuel hose and proper fuel line, not Jubilee clips.
