Subject:Plastic Fuel Lines

Someone made a comment about the plastic fuel line that is used on the
Vanagon that really disturbs me.  He said not to cut the ends off, because
they are reinforced and the new ends will leak.  I find this really hard to
believe.  VW would make length specific plastic tubing with reinforced
ends?   Let's not spread false information on this list.  Can any of the
vendors verify this one way or the other?  I just finished doing all my
fuel lines and cut the ends back because they were deformed from the
original fuel line clamps.  I don't want to hear they are going to leak at
the plastic fuel lines.
