Subject:Re: When to replace hoses

I'm running an air cooled but I figure our rules apply to Wasers too.
Just pick a comfort level and a budget if that is relative.
If you're mostly local then its less of a worry than if you're traveling
and don't want to get stranded.
With Air Cooled we have to be pretty contentious about our lines (fuel)
since an engine fire has been the total destruction of many air cooled VW
Vans and Vanagons.
