Yeah, I was just looking at that on craigslist. Is that a shaggy dog story or what! Backfire? Oil burning? Then the Vanagon caught on fire from it? I've never seen any ONE of those things happen, much less all three in quick succession. I'm thinking fuel lines, myself. Silly, I know, 'cause THOSE never fail. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
