Well - 

This weekend was probably the last good one [ weather wise ] to do any
remaining

Outdoor work up here in Upstate New York.  Everyone was scrambling around
finishing 

Lawn work looking up at the sky looking for the eventual first snow storm.

As a vanagon owner ­ I was  [of course] under the van.

I started the fuel line replacement project earlier this summer and did not

Fully finish it. So I still had to do the little lines around the fuel
filter and 

The line running up the the firewall, the plastic firewall connector and the
line that

Runs to the metal T by the distributor.  I started underneath the van and
worked 

Back to the engine compartment.  All went well and I went to disconnect the

Fuel line at the metal Tee and the apparently the fuel line clamp was
completely

Loose. [!@$!@##$!!!$#^&$&!]  This is where I disconnected / reconnected
during my 

Engine rebuild 2 [!]  years ago.   Errr...   [whoops!]

So... Hmmm...  Maybe a łtactile check˛ of your fuel lines along with the
occasional visual inspection

Is a wise thing....


Happy Motoring!
