John,

I’m pretty sure you have the return fuel pipe in your chassis. It should have a rubber cap on each end. Go look.

For my records, what is the last four digits of your VIN? Porsche claimed the change was with the MY ’71 but I too have seen early ’71 MY with the pump in the front.

I’m pretty sure all 911Ts MY ’69-’70 have the MFI return pipe in the tunnel. Porsche didn’t distinguish it was going to be a T, E or S until later in the manufacturing process. (The Sportomatics even have the clutch cable tube in the tunnel because of this.)

Karmann produced some 911Es in ’69-’70 (not ’71 and no 911S) and they too have the return pipe in the chassis as Porsche could assemble them as either an E or T.

My SWB didn’t come with a return pipe (none did as far as I can tell). I installed one alongside the tunnel on the passenger side.

Best,
Grady
