  Are these well-designed fuel system parts somehow adaptable to feed a
Vanagon WBX engine?  I'm sure that they're readily-available in excellent
condition in most junkyards........

I'll tell you this about the fuel o-rings and  the very well made ,METAL
Subaru fuel rails........they last perfectly in my experience., I don't
worry about them much. - the o-rings.
They could barely seep at the most usually.  Or if someone leaves some
screws loose, of course.

I priced ALL the fuel seals for a six cylinder SVX engine at the dealer once
- all injector seals, all fuel rail  seals etc.  - 300 bucks total !!

But you almost don't need them, it's not like they are weak. But that's how
'good' they are ! if price means something,
