VW Beetle Classic 1968-79 Petrol Filler Neck To Fuel Tank Hose

What is it, and what does it fit?
A direct-fit replacement fuel hose for this VW. Check the model, engine and year range on this page against your vehicle before ordering.

How do I make sure it fits my car?
Match on model, engine and year or facelift, because hoses often change mid-generation. The most certain method is the OE part number on the part you are removing. If you cannot find one, send us photos of the old hose with a tape measure alongside, or your registration, and we will confirm.

Is it compatible with E5 and E10 petrol?
Yes - it is built to fuel-rated specification and handles modern ethanol-blended petrol. That is the main reason to replace an original hose on an older vehicle: ethanol attacks unsuitable rubber from the inside, so a line can look perfectly sound externally while breaking down internally and shedding debris into the fuel system.

What are the symptoms of a failing fuel hose?
A fuel smell around the vehicle, fuel staining or damp on the underside, and difficulty filling without the pump cutting out. On a car stored over winter the smell in a closed garage is usually the first sign. Do not put off a fuel leak in a hot engine bay.

Does it come with clips?
Some of our listings offer clips as an option at checkout - check the options on this page. Where they are not included, we stock stainless worm drive clips and T-bolt clamps in every matching size. Always renew clips with a hose: old ones lose tension and corrode where you cannot see.

Is it a straightforward fit?
It is a direct replacement for the original, so it goes back the way the old one came out. Take the opportunity to check the rest of the run while it is apart - a part that has aged out is rarely the only one, and doing them together saves repeating the access work.
