Thanks  for the advice.  I'll make sure the whole thing is replaced, even if
I  have to pay for parts of it myself.  Hopefully, if they accept Vanagons
for service, they'll be capable of doing this work and making the vehicle  safe.
 I'm sure I won't remember the details of what should be replaced,  so I'll
print it out.  I guess this would be a good time to take a look  at my Bentley.

In a previous post, someone mentioned something about  asking for a special
("heavy duty") material to replace the fuel lines.   I don't remember if you
have to specifically ask for it, or if that material  is what is normally used.
Does anyone know what I'm referring to?  (because I sure don't!)  I'm not
familiar with this stuff at all.

Hi Patti
The dealer fuel lines are exactly what you do want . They are in  most cases
better than anything available aftermarket. The recall stuff comes in  a kit
with everything ready for the mechanic.
I think most mechanics can do this without screwing it up and really would
not worry about it especially if you have them do the rest of the lines and the
 plastic connector.

If you want when you go to pick it up ,
start it and watch for any gas that might drip to double check there  work.
