Return fuel lines

[Eric]

I was replacing the coolent tank on my 99 996 when I pulled the, what I believe is the, return fule line appart. The line is below the coolant tank. It is heated and swedged to the fitting fastened on the fuel rails. I have Mac Givered the line with an insert and fuel hose clamps. I have not been able to identify, through my parts book or my Porshe DVD the part number or how to replace it. I am an ex race car owner-driver and seem to allways learn the hard way. I have looked at the line and it looks like it will be allot of fun to replace!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really like to replace the line with Porsche parts.

Thanks! Eric

P. S. I know what your thinking. I didn't race NASCAR !!!!

HI,

The same thing happened to me. I went Porsche and bought the fuel return line for $93. The part # is 996-201-271-01

.How did you attach the part to the regular fuel line? I'm looking at it and I have no clue how to do it. The parts guy told me that it is a squeeze release, but it does not look like it at all.

I ordered the part overnight for tomorrow.

The Part number I used was 996-201-275-02. It is a updated part number. The end just pushes on, and squeezes off. It's kinda fun to get off.
