dear smell
stunning That you would change out fuel lines in engine bay and not by pass
the firewall fitting and toss old one in trash....
keep driving ur vanagon and you will discover the leak .... (tounge in
cheek)

seriously though what year or model is your vanagon
do u have rear located fuel filler ...
do u notice all the time or only after fill ... or while engine running
do u notice smell when you open bay .... or if u leave open and go away
does it appear to be there when you return
let us know before the fire suppressors
regards
