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?

John,
Wow, you're right, what a way to start a Monday-pump an ENTIRE tank of
fuel out through a cracked line and still be alive to tell about it! I'd
say you were pretty da**ed lucky! Many fuel line leaks in these vans
result in a burned van, at least. Congrats in coming out with the van
and your hide intact.
You may find that it was a rubber connecting hose that perished. Contact
Ken Wilfy at Van-Again for a kit to replace the rubber connections.
