Great point Balz. When I get to the point of adding fuel to the tank I'll definitely do that.
Ok, so this is starting to make a bit more sense to me. I'm thinking I can add one of these (in the picture) into the tank instead of the pump. That goes from the tank to the external pump and then through the filter (I might have that backwards) , then to the accumulator in the wheel well towards the engine. Then there is a line that comes from the engine back to the top of the tank in the sender unit?
Yes, you got it! Just to be perfectly clear, working from the tank forward, the rubber hoses part of the lines that you described, eventually connects to hard lines going forward to the engine compartment. The rubber hoses pick up there next the the firewall. All of these rubber hoses are of a particular rating for the pressure. You can't use just generic rubber fuel lines! Just get the kit from Roger. It has the right grade hoses already cut and clamps.
If you have any questions, just post and I can send you pictures from my 79.
When you get it all put back together, you can locate the fuel pump relay and the right terminals to jump so you can test that power is going to the pump(s) properly check for leaks and such without having to crank the engine.
BTW, I had to replace my sending unit too because it was frozen. hopefully yours works, but don't be surprised if it doesn't.
Martinss shared this with me when I started and it was incredibly useful:
"I find the pictures in PET invaluable Joe. Mostly I go to the Autoatlanta site and 'Shop hard parts' for the correct model year; yours would be:
www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-parts/928-78...orsche_928_parts.php
The full PET Catalog is available in PDF for each model (
www.porsche.com/canada/en/accessoriesand...ginalpartscatalogue/) and I have it saved locally on my computer, but while it is more complete, most times the Autoatlanta site is more convenient."
