With all those lines snaking all over the top of the engine -- scary! I really was tempted to plumb in metal tubing around the perimeter of the engine bay and run short rubber lines down to the injectors -- however I've sort of learned not to try to be smarter than the engineers who do this for a living... Also I guess any such solution would ideally need to be mounted on stand-offs from the motor so it would not move relative to the motor during acceleration. Allan -- 1991 Vanagon GL
