What a way to start a Monday.  Apparently that wonderful plastic gas line
that runs through the frame rail to the fuel injection let go, resulting in
a full tank of gas being pumped out onto the highway, and leaving me
stranded. No gas sprayed around the engine compartment; it all came out in
the passenger side rear wheelwell area. How come VW doesn't use metal gas
lines like everyone else?

Check your fuel pressure.  If your regulator fails, it will over-pressure
      the FI system and blow off this line.  My '86 did the same thing.  VW
      used the plastic because it was cheaper, but they will tell you
      "corrosion resistant".   It is actually very tough stuff.
