Where are you?  All I could find on Google is Hotel Westfalia in Bremen,
Germany!

Hi to all,

Every year I send out a message to the members of this list to come and have
their fuel lines changed at my place, with almost no appointment to make and
can wait for it while it's done.
Anyone, who is running around a 25-30 years old fuel lines, should not be
surprised having his car burned up.
This item is not "fix it when it's broke", but because it's age related, has
to be changed before it broken.  All those burnt up beautiful Westfalias
should have been enough warnings to wise folks.
In a case of lack of funds, I can accept a payment plan through PayPal.

Summer Vanagon fire season is here . Vanagons burn so often the word Vanagon
can be substituted for the word fire, as in, I had a Vanagon in my fireplace
last night.

It can never be mentioned too often, that the fuel line and adapter on the
right side firewall and behind it need to be inspected. The plastic adapter
on the firewall should be eliminated . Here's

Only you (or someone who works on your Vanagon) can prevent Vanagon fires.
