Subject: 88 fuel lines

> Ok, I have talked with Ken at Vanagain. He said that the kit that he has
is just for the lines in the engine compartment. The kit actually looks like
a 10' piece of hose and clamps. The ones that I need to replace are the
lines under the van. From the gas tank to the fuel pump, then to the filter,
from the filter up to the engine. I have not checked the ones in the engine
compartment. I wil do that this week. As for the ones under the van, they
are several sizes. Anyone know what sizes I need and how much? Seems like I
should be able to just get cheaper hose at the local parts store and clamps.
I just need to know what sizes. Thanks all.

What the heck am I missing here?  I've replaced engine compartment fuel
lines in my air-cooleds and I don't think I could use more than a foot or
so.  When I've see that "10' " figure I've always thought that was a kit
designed for running all the way from the tank, through the engine, and back
to the tank.  Do you water-cooled guys really need 10 feet of fuel hose in
the engine compartment.
