Subject:since we were talking about fuel lines...
From:Paul Bucco
Date:Sun, 13 May 2001 10:31:29 -0700

I was on my way back up from Long Beach Island,NJ on
Sat. which is about 40 min south of my house.  I was
at mile marker 81.1(my exit 82) and all of a sudden i
lose power.  I coast over to the shoulder and luckily
my girlfriend has AAA.  Cost me only 35.00 to tow it
to my house(she will get my $ back)  and then my buddy
came and looked underneath to see that one of the
pressurized gas lines had a leak when he played w/it.
He is going to replace the line w/ a pressurized one
on Wed. along with a new fuel filter. My question is
this:  Would that leak cause me to lose all power?  or
is the evil Vanagon voodoo doctor getting back at me
for not using my van except maybe for about 2 times a
month locally? Previously, i think a basic fuel line
was used and i also think he said it is leaking before
it gets to the fuel pump, if these tidbits of info
help.  Anyone feel free to offer tips?

TIA,
