Subject:fuel pumps and stuff
From:Matthew Pollard

What is the difference in fuel pumps across the volkswagen line? (fuel
injected, specificially a2 or a2, digijet/fant). Why? I know that the a2
fp has threaded connectors instead of the vanagon barbed connectors. Why
not use metal tubing with the proper fittings to route the fuel from the
pump to the engine bay. Then when you get to the bay you use a braided
stainless hose from that new pipe to the fuel pressure regulator, etc?

The reason i'm thinking about this is that i have a tiico in my syncro and
want to avoid those pesky engine fires that result from the tiico engine
moving more than the wbx and rubbing through the rubber fuel lines.
cheers
