These are 2 URLs that have hard-to-find vanagon hoses and/or
substitute VW hoses.  Please contact the guys (email address is at
the bottom of each page) and let them know the part # of the hose, so
that it can be posted.  Your vanagon DUTY!

Also I hope that your hose is designed for fuel, my PO put in a Gates
hose that, over about 2 years, melted from the contact with the gas.
