Remove the ventilation pipes between the tank and the neck.
Take a new pipeline (diameter 12 mm) for the ventilation system, cut it to 1.2 m. Then insert a coil spring into it to prevent bending. The eye should be at a distance of 700 mm from the connecting link (on top near the filler pipe).
Close the pipeline with a plug and push it through the hole to the tank.
Wipe the end of the pipeline thoroughly to ensure it is clean; put the tank on the branch pipe.
To ensure that the upper end of the hose is flexible enough when placed on the connecting link, it should be held for a short time in boiling water.
Take a new thin hose for the ventilation system (diameter 5 mm); cut 1.2 m in length.
The original can be seen on the portal (VWManual)
Close the end of the hose and extend it to the tank.
Place the end of the hose onto the tank outlet only after thorough cleaning.
Close the remaining part of the connecting link with a cork.
All pipelines without exception must be secured with threaded clamps.
There must be a rubber gasket between the fuel tank and the clamping band; otherwise, the metal will wear out and the tank will become leaky.
To protect the new tank, a special coating that will last for a long time should be applied to the underside of its base.
The car does not have a coil spring in the ventilation system (release before February 1978.):
- cut off the old pipe located between the rear axle and the hole in the longitudinal beam of the body;
- remove the top end near the filler pipe;
- new pipeline (with a spiral spring) cut the old pipeline to length; secure near the filler pipe.
After the pipe is plugged, pull it through the body opening.
Thoroughly clean the end of the pipe before fitting it onto the fitting in the tank.
Connect the new and remaining pipeline in the machine to the connecting link and secure with threaded clamps.
