The Vanagain kit only has enough fuel hose for inside the engine bay. Plus an extra foot or so for odds and ends. From the engine bay to the fuel pump, and engine bay to the fuel tank on the return line, is plastic hose (at least on my '85). The plastic hose did not come in the fuel line kit. I would like to , but I didn't replace the plastic hose, figuring if it leaked there it is less likely to start a fire. Removing the old fuel lines from the plastic fuel rails and other parts takes some careful work so you don't damage the plastic fuel rail,etc. I'm not crazy about having 'plastic' fuel rails in the first place. I ordered new fuel injector seals when I did mine. I thought it was a nice kit. It has instructions and nice clamps. Mark Ingalls
