Interesting. I drove my 91 vanagon from Houston to Taos without a problem. However, with overnight temps in the teens I had a fuel leak the morning after we arrived. Good thing it was just one of the short lines from the fuel rail to the injector on the driver's side. I very carefully tightened it and all OK. I am very happy that the engine with 192K miles on it still runs great. Now I just have to get back to Houston in one piece. I have seen about 4 vanagons in the area which is 4 more that I have evcer seen in Houston. Cheers
