Scott,

I think that over-paranoia is fully justified. I've never owned another
vehicle that was as fuel-leak prone as the Vanagon - even with new hoses
and clamps. I check my hoses for seeps, leaks, loose clamps, fittings
and wear once a month and any time I have the engine hatch open.

BTW - I can't think of a vehicle on which the fuel system inspection is
any easier that the stock Vanagon.
