Seeking a source for metal/hose fuel lines

[Tom F.]

Stoddard tells me that the suction/pressure/return lines for my 73 CIS car are NLA from Porsche. These are the crimped Cohline parts. Similar parts are used on the 69-73 MFI and carbureted cars. Has anyone found a way to order them from Cohline, or an alternate source?

You might try contacting your local Wurth distributor, they may also have access to Cohline.

Reach out to Brad Davis here.

Brad Davis is Mr. Cohline. He has a thread going about cam lines which started about 3 days ago in the " for sale " arena. Contact him.

Mike, thanks for the tip. Here is the note that I sent Brad, in case he looks here, or in case someone else has a solution:

Hi Brad,

Can you source replacement suction and return fuel lines for a 73 CIS T from Cohline? The return line would have the same steel section as the return line for an MFI car, but instead of the t fitting and connection to the fuel pump, the hose section is just one long piece that goes directly from the termination of the steel piece to the line that runs through the center tunnel. The suction line is special in that it incorporates a reducer piece from the 9 mm suction line in the tunnel to the 7 mm suction fitting on the fuel pump.

The Porsche part nos. are 911 356 074 30 for the return line, and 911 356 073 00 for the suction line. Both are NLA from Porsche, according to Maurice at Stoddard.

Thanks, Tom

I guess that I should have said 7.5 mm, not 7.0.

Very timely..my fuel line for my CIS flavored Porsche just broke! I was the feed that goes through the chassis to the accumulator then the filter

That line might still be available. I think that it's the same as the line for the MFI, only the hose length may be slightly different.

Stoddard carries the Cohline hose, but not the complete hose/pipe assembly.

I contacted Wurth about Braided 7.5mm fuel line. They do not carry 7.5, only have 7.0. I asked them to send me a sample, they sent me 5'! It looks like stock braided line but not sure if the .5mm difference will be a problem or not.

I think that you're better off with the contemporary Cohline 7.5 with the smooth outside, like what I got from Stoddard. When I checked Wurth's catalog, it looked like they don't recommend the braided stuff for automotive fuel systems. Might have something to do with modern fuel formulations.
