My Case and Long Diesel Tractors have four fuel lines running from the
pump up to the head.
It gets sludged up from idling for hours at a time.
I think the MMO and fuel line checking is a good thought.
The valve thing certainly doesn't apply.
I just assume that the VW also has a Bosch pump similar to my Case.
