You've got it right "No Subject" all vendors sell fuel injection hose and
it all meets the standards.
If you're buying all of your parts from VW Dealers, I want to buy your
van.
It has to be the most pristine, original, virgin, un -adulterated vehicle
on the road.
All vendors sell 6.5mm, Yada Yada ,  7 mm hose that actually fits the VW
fittings.
I hear tell of VW fuel pumps that put out 100 PSI but I've never seen one
go over about 69 psi. and that never happens if your fuel Pressure
regulator is working at all.
