This may be good advise for a Bus or Vanagon, but the EuroVan uses a plastic fuel line with a short crimped on rubber fuel line on each end. The service kit included in the recall replaces the crimped fitting with a VW spring clamp. The inability of the crimped fitting to expand and contract was part of the problem. I had leaky fuel lines on my '93 and I replaced the crimps with band clamps. This was before the recall, and I thought I fixed the problem. My van burned up and I will never know if it was the fuel lines or something else. The recall in the US was for only 1993 models. I have never heard of any for other years.
