I'm looking for replacement fuel injection hose for my '85 Vanagon and getting some confusing answers to parts questions. I have been told (by a certain highly placed listmember here who lives in Tuscaloosa, Alabama) that the Vanagon uses 8mm hose, mostly, and 10mm hose from the tank to the pump. My parts guy says that they only stock fuel injection hose in 7,9 and 12mm sizes. Anything else is something he can't help me with, his hoses are fabric covered, by the way, the stock hoses on my van are bare rubber. I don't have two cars anymore, so I can't exactly take the system apart and drive the samples up to NOPI to match them (the Passat Variant is now long gone--with happy owners in Massachusetts). Anyone know what these sizes are for sure, and if they really are 8 and 10mm, where would I find this hose outside of the VW Dealer? ________________________________________ Donald Baxter 405 Sixth Street, N.E.
