<P><BR>I second that, had a fuel line go out while driving! Smelled gas and gauge started diving. It's a miracle the whole van did not go up in flames.</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Amen on the gas lines. Mine started dripping at the fuel pump when I moved
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the van this week.Started poking around the engine compartment and
<DIV></DIV>&gt;everything I touched started leaking.Needless to say, everything is being
<DIV></DIV>&gt;replaced this week.Glad I saw gas and not flame.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Gas lines. Regardless of mileage, you have 12 years on them. Time to
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; get them replaced.
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; If you have power steering, check the lines to the steering rack.
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Depending on where your Vanagon has been, they may be terribly rusty or
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; in fine shape. If rusty, you might want to consider doing something
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; about them.
