I also bought the Van Café kit with the steel fittings. The system is not under pressure, and on my '85 there were no clamps at all. The crimp type clamps are fast to install (good for pros), but you need a special tool. The installation is not particularly difficult, just time consuming. Be sure to replace the short hoses on the injectors too, as Ken demonstrates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEWk7iAnl7U Stuart -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Steve Williams Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2017 10:34 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: Fuel Line Replacement Kits Galore! Hi, The big difference is the type of clamps. Go-Westy uses: Twenty-six (26) special crimp-style ear clamps (two large and 24 small) Other's use screw type, which is my preference, but it is quite a controversial topic! Additionally, I bought.. http://www.van-cafe.com/page_494_293/fuel-tank-reseal-kit-b What I liked about it was the metal inserts of the cross over pipe rather than plastic of other kits.
