Yes, you are lucky... so now, sell one of your bike and put that money on the van. Those van are 20+ year old, they WON'T run for ever!!!

Now i will be rough, don't take that personal, i find anyone that still drive a Vanagon with old fuel line plain STUPID! Yea, you are, you have no idea how this is so dangerous, that engine was badly design on that matter... even if VW did use amazing quality fuel lines in the 80', they are 15-25 years old...

I have posted SO MANY TIME about fuel line replacement! i can NOT believe some of you are still driving with old/bad fuel line! it's NOT expensive enough to omit that job! I drove across Canada/USA in 99 with old fuel line, one did leak a bit, i had to fix it on the road, but when i came back, it was the first job i did on the van, now i know better! so i'm sharing my knowledge with you so people will be less stupid than i was!

I still don't understand why some of you don't have that job done, for those that think they can do it themself, i did a complete(i think) DIY section on my site: http://www.benplace.com/fuel_line.htm

What can i say? is something missing on that page? tell me so! do you need a video to help you do so! i will do one! Do i need to put back the 20 burned pictures van i had there for a few weeks (removed because people ask me to remove them)... do you want to see the one with the 2 dead childrens in the back seat? It happen in Ontario...

I'm sorry but i have no pity for the one who knows and don't do it, for those who don't know, now you know!!!!!!!!
