Vanagon listers!
I wanted to thank all who responded with your advice. One thing to think
about for the breather hose. If the hose on your engine is not compatible
with gas, oil , diesel, petroleum the hose will become soft. When
throttle is increased the hose collapses and there will be no crankcase
ventilation. Don't know exactly how this affects the motor performance
but I know it was designed to breathe at all RPMS. So if you cannot get
the proper fuel hose Stan's idea of a solid pipe in the middle of 2 short
chunks of heater hose would work the best. Thanks and aloha, Ed Sato
