I ran across something called a 'fire sleeve' for fuel lines. It's
apparently supposed to protect the lines from heat (in race cars), whereas
the problem with the lines in the Vanagons appears to be more a matter of
failure under pressure due to deterioration, age, improper clamping and so
on. However I was wondering if anyone has any experience or knowledge about
this stuff and wanted to offer an opinion as to whether it might be a good
idea in our vans?

Cya,
Robert
