I bought Napa 4219-6205 5/16" fuel injection hose. H205. I don't know for sure but I think they are the same at least on 84's? >>> Shawn Wright <swright@ZUIKO.SLS.BC.CA> 5/27/2003 12:01:33 PM >>> This morning while driving my daughter to school, our '88 Westy developed a major fuel leak just as I pulled into the parking lot. I smelled gas, and saw a trail of fuel where I backed up. It does not leak with the key on, engine stopped, only when the engine running, but then pours out and drips from several places on transmission. I assume this means there is a high pressure line leading from one side of the engine to the other, or perhaps a "T" above the transmission? I would have expected it to leak as soon as I turned the key and the fuel pump made pressure, but it doesn't seem to start until the engine is running. My question is: how many different sizes of hose are used in the fuel system from the fuel pump back to the injectors? I bought some hose a few years ago to replace the injector lines and found it was the wrong size, so I never did it. I guess now is the time to replace them all... ps: Please cc: <swright@sls.bc.ca> if possible, as I won't be able to check my list mail until tonight, and need to rescue my van asap! (It's only 5 minutes from home, but has no vent window, and it might rain...) Thanks! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Shawn Wright, I.T.
