The reference is a research paper done by the CA CARB people in early 1990s.
(it also referenced in it a major fuels study done by VW.  I am still
looking for that one. I believe it is the one VW did to meet the brazilian
GVT requirements on going to alcohol)

It has in it a clearly stated warning of fuel lines made prior to 1991 as
not being MTBE compatible.  The note is that it accelerates the aging
process of the rubber used for the lines.  It also states that low pressure
fuel lines of the early 80s and before (about the last of the carbed
engines) are highly degraded by MTBE.

Any guesses what that says about our vanagons fuel lines and someone selling
NOS fuel lines???  Make sure the rubber you are buying is the newer
formulations.
