Bad mechanic, bad installation.... he he he...

Or!!!! cheap hoses!!! A good FI hose is about 4$ a feet, a cheap one goes
for 2.50$ a feet..

Cheap one have a bad habit..they split/ layers separation after a short
wile...and the clamp, good FI clamp are about 1$ each, you need about 25 to
do a complete job.

But hey... you save a good 20$ overall with the cheap one!!!

Most people will go crasy when they hear the FI prices.

My conclusion, most vanagon will need about 15 feets of 5/16 hoses for a
complete job, that is 15 x 4=60$ + about 3 to 4 hours to do a good and safe
job...period.

Eric, I'm with you. Inspection is the best protection. The last major fuel
leak I had was with brand new fuel lines. There was nothing loose, no bad
clamps, no problems ........but I dumped 3/4 of a tank of gas so fast you
could the needle on the gage falling. And a fuel hose was the culprit. How
so if it was new? Well, actually fairly new, recently new, but ot the first
trip out after installation. It had been driven a few hundred miles, but
with no apparent problems ........ but the fuel line passed close enough to
the throttle cable that the cable wore a hole in the fuel line. When it
reached a certain point - blooie! -- hole opened and the fuel came out.

Inspect, inspect, inspect.
