I'll have to also second the idea of replacing all the lines in the engine bay. I was told by the PO of my van that the fuel lines had been completely replaced. He knew I intended to carry my family and dogs in it. I found a leak while I was inspecting the van. Some of the lines had been changed and I took him at face value.

Later that week (4 hours away from the previous owner) I found other hoses that looked dry upon my initial inspection, but now they were wet and leaking. In fact one was so bad that it sprayed fuel out in a stream. Kinda scary, if the engine had been running and this had happen it may have very easily caught fire.

be safe, t. -- 82 Scirocco "Rodolfo" 85 Vanagon "Blubrik, El Guapo"
