Subject:      Another fuel line question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

So the other day I happen to have my westy running in the driveway and walked around to the back and noticed a drip coming from the engine area.  So I stuck my hand under and caught a few drops, turns out it was gas.  So I got underneath and found where the drip was coming from....  (excuse me I don't know the name of the part but I'll describe it)  It's the part where two fuel injectors connect in the middle and on either ends are hoses that lead to 1) Pressure regulator 2) T-piece.  Those of you playing at home you can reference page 24.22/24.23 in your Bentley manual.

 

Now my question is are these lines/hoses part of the "REPLACE YOUR FUEL LINES"?  I'm thinking that the hose is starting to crumble and needs to be replaced, obviously it is currently leaking fuel when the van is on.

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated..... and if anyone knows the correct size fuel line that would be useful information.

 

Thanks all!!
