The Length of the three 12mm Vacuum Hoses on an Autostick Beetle

[68autobug]

While replacing the three 12mm Vacuum Hoses on My Beetle I measured the three of them
I'm sure I did this once before but couldn't find it written anywhere.

shortest one - control valve to vacuum tank is 240mms or 9 1/2 inches long.

the one from the manifold to the control valve is 400mm or 15 3/4 inches long

the hose from the clutch servo to the control valve is 620mms or 24 1/2 inches long

Now the longer two hoses can probably be an inch shorter approx..

and painting these hoses Yellow has no effect whatsoever on the vacuum...

Now many autostick owners like to use the original Belmetrix type of Hose available in the USA

I use a red colored truck Air Hose 1200 psi TOTALFLEX made in the USA..

Lee - Is that a vacuum gage on the left side? How do you use that information and what numbers do you see? Bob

No  Bob

its a fuel pressure gauge as I have an electric fuel pump and regulator
as the electric pump was flooding the carburetor...

I have never thought of using a vacuum gauge....
maybe in the future....?
