Subject:      fuel line Qs?
Content-Type:  text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Is the fuel line I need for my bus with Fuel Injection pretty standard?

The fuel line is wet when the bus has just been running at a spot where the plastic hose meets a rubber hose to go through the fire wall into the engine compartment over the starter motor. It looks like there is plastic line from the fuel pump to a rubber hose to a fitting that passes through the firewall and then again attaches to some rubber hose to the fuel pressure regulator I would guess.

I'm guessing the rubber lines are 5mm "high pressure" hose. As for the plastic lengths will I be able to find that at a local parts store? (My bus is an 83.5 Westy).

I think I may have time to order the plastic line from a list vendor since I think it's length of rubber hose that's leaking--and I think Ken sells a kit. But info on the rubber hose will be much appreciated since I have no real experience with purchasing FI fuel line and haven't found a knowledgable parts store in this area. (Burbank, CA)

Thanks Jeff 83.5 Westy
