I pulled the 1.9 WBX out of my Vanagon for a 2.1L swap.  I never had any
problems with my fuel lines, or so I thought.  After looking at Ben's fuel
line replacement page I took a closer look at the hoses that connect the
fuel injectors to the fuel rail on the 1.9L and saw some hairline cracks.  I
pulled on the fuel rail and as the line stretched so did the cracks and FUEL
CAME OUT!  I was THAT close to disaster!

Yes, the 2.1L I'm putting in has new fuel lines.

CHECK YOURS NOW!
