The tan sleeves are to protect the fuel hose from abrasion.I think they are the same as used for electrical wiring harneses on the Vanagon. I had difficulty getting the new fuel lines to go through them. Soap did the trick.Also,I think that the OEM routing allows for preheating of the fuel,buy the warm block.It does take a few minutes for the volume inside the lines to get to the injectors.Gas in the tank can be very cold and wont vaporize as quickly.Use fuel injection clamps! |
