So David, though I have replaced all fuel lines with all new line, running a continuous line with no breaks and no firestarter connector, you still think I have a connection like Stuart is talking about?  I sure don't remember such a thing, but I will certainly search it out.  thanks for the information.  I guess that connection was factory.  Maybe mine had already been replaced with a continuous hose, but the firestarter connector was still in place.  Or could there be a model year difference in that?  Mine is a '91 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Campmobile.   Hmmmm.... .  mcneely
