Larry,

I just did this job a month or so ago.  I replaced all the vapor lines,
fuel lines and crossover pipe at the same time.  If yours hasn't been
done, it's time.

The crossover pipe is $25.25 at the dealer(P/N 251 201 147B), but don't
forget the seals (3 of P/N N901 004 01), then a few feet of 8mm fuel
line
and a few feet of 5mm fuel line.  Lastly, don't forget about 14,000
clamps! (READ about 25)  They are all the crimp type so you need new
ones.  I replaced the fuel sender seal at the same time just to be safe.
