While your replacing those fuel hoses, it's also a good idea to retrofit a brass sleave that fits inside the plastic fuel line just in front of the firewall. I'm not sure when VW started installing those but they prevent the plastic line from deformeing when you tighten the hose lamp. Here's a link in the archives about this...and Boston Bob's tip for getting it on. http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe? A2=ind0804D&L=vanagon&D=0&m=333663&P=1363 Pascal '84 Westy |
