this morning, very cold here in the northeast, i went out to start my
vanagon..and i noticed 2 wet spots on the ground as i backed up..   GAS!


popped over the rear lid and gas was dripping out of both fuel injector rails
at a good rate, where the rubber hoses were clamped on.   turns out all the
screws on every single clamp was way loose..  they all needed to be tightened
up..


this was a fuel line replacement kit bought new a few yrs ago .  all new
lines and clamps.


anyway, my point is, those of you who have installed a fuel line replacement
kits such as those that listvendors sell, you should go BACK and check your
fuel line clamps...make sure they are tight..    i think it was the combination
of the temp drop, and rubber shrinkage that made them come loose...
