Ferrari Mailing List: Re: How to change oil hoses and fuel filler on 1981 308

[Michel Savard (mysavard]

I took the afternoon to open up the space (wheel and inner fender and oil cooler ducking- one bolt only). It looks even easier than on the 328. Very confident for the fuel filler.

Now, I took a good look at the 2 oil hoses: The bottom one seems a bit tough but doable for me. I wonder if  A LOT of oil will fall down once I disconnect the 2 ends ?

The top one seems much tougher.

Ah well, I have 2 weeks anyway.

All,

That is much harder than a GT4!  One of the advantages of the Dave helms hose are their

flexibility and they bend much easier making the installation a snap.

I found a great suggestion online that actually worked for cutting large OD hose. Put a hose

clamp on where you want to cut tighten a bit and use a one side razor blade. I am amazed I never

tried or heard of this before but it cut some hoses cleaner than any other way I ever tried!

Good luck with your project!

My government here in Quebec has given us, teachers, 2 weeks off to help prevent the spread of corona-virus. I bought all the parts I need and was going to give the job to my mechanic in the spring.
But, since I now have 2 weeks with absolutely nothing to do, we just had our spring break on the 1st week of march, I thought I would try to do it myself.

Before I start, please give me some advice. Fuel filler (I bought a long tube from GATES, cut it in shorter pieces (4” long) and put the rest on eBay) needs to be change. I also have the 2 short oil cooler hoses from SUPERFORMANCE to change.

Any sort of advice will be welcomed!
