Subject:check your firewall fuel line fittings! the 2nd main cause of engine fires
Date:Thu, 25 Dec 2008 15:17:49 EST

its christmas , i am sick with the flu, and so i am going thru old emails..

just a friendly reminder..

in addition to old cracked rubber fuel lines, the 2nd main cause of vanagon
engine fires is the plastic fitting that carries fuel thru the van's firewall.
they get old and brittle and crack  from vibration etc.

it was a dumb idea on vw's part to make this piece out of plastic.

anyway replace it with some metal fuel line..for piece of mind.
