Didn't see it specifically listed on any of the online vendors. Can anyone recommend a replacement for this, before I start a wild goose chase? Thanks. You can likely get that at NAPA or other local flaps. It's not unusual or specific to Vanagon's. What I did, was get a fuel filler hose, which was expensive, since the section/length I got was only about 30" and it cost about $55, but I wanted it to be VERY durable, and be able to wrap around a round air filter canister fitting, and the oval end of the snorkel, and it does that beautifully. I hose-clamped it so it stays, is very robust and was easy to cut to exact length, without cracking. The OE stuff is not very durable. By the way, it is 3" did. as well. bob |
