Here's a TDE with the return going into the pedestal, so maybe this works ok?  pict0008hq0.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  TDEMotor.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

What about the front most fuel pump stud? I cant think if this goes through (with some drilling) or if it hits something solid..?

Pretty sure I´ve seen a pedestal stud with a hole through the middle of it used as a return.

Oh my God...don't ask that question.[-x I was engaged in one of the most pointless discussions/arguments on the Samba on this topic. Some people won't see the obvious even if it were to bite them on the bum.:roll:

I post a link George if you really want to read it.

Maybe ignorance IS bliss if it's one of those types of threads:wink: :lol:
Does it give a definate answer John, or just conflicting points of view.

Basically Orange: Fram USA...Blue: Fram Germany. Both the same size take the same internal filter.

Purist said Okrasa: Blue Fram...until someone came up with a colour picture of Gerard Ottinger standing behind a bench testing of an Okrasa with an Orange Fram. Both are correct.

Yep, I read that thread - what fun!!

Blue is original, anything else is absolutely wrong. You would have thought that Mr Oettinger would have known this back in the day...

what about these cool orange oil lines though, anyone seen those on a car since?  683629.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.
