I wouldn't mess with the fuel lines except I had the firewall fitting leak last year on the same trip so I think a through inspection is in order.  I got the stuff here to do it.  I'm tired of my heat temp cable it totally jumped the lever and is all bent up.  I have it rerouted under the glove box with vice grips on it,  blah........

I would be careful not to do too much work if everything ran well. Introducing problems is a very real possibility. Remember that reliability is earned, not given. If you've earned it, it should be good to go!

I dig the RA08's.

Need good vibes sent my way:  Leaving for Florida in two weeks for the Wanne Festival from PA.  Started shaking the bugs out of the van from hibernation.  Will have to get tires I think, plenty of tread but some very mild dry rot.  Question what tires should I get for my Vanagon with stock 14" wheels???

Ok I'm kidding, I believe I'm getting the Hankook RA08's, a local tire guy can get 'em any day he says $440 out the door.  Going to replace fuel lines, change oil, maybe redo some grounds, and replace my heater temp cable.

Anyone heading to Wanee this year?
