Ummmm... not to insult... but replacing fuel lines is one of the most
straight forward operations you can do on your van. Not pleasant, but
certainly not difficult. If you have Bentley, you have all the diagrams
you need. Either contact one of the list vendors who have put together
kits, or go get took down at the VW parts counter. Either way, it's a
matter of disconnecting the battery, dropping the fuel tank, replacing
the lines (all of them!) putting the grommets back in, and buttoning it
up again. There are variations (like boiling out the tank) but the base
process needs no guru.
Now, go back into your engine compartment and replace all the lines back
there too.  Check all lines between the fuel pump and back firewall,
check the carbon filter doohah (highly technical term there) and you
should be finished (at least for a couple more years).
