I've seen un-Godly fuel leaks on my 914's (Bosch MPC and AFC injection) Angel
on my shoulder is the only reason I'm here--
Plus, having watched a 1976 bus erupt into flames and burn the motor to a
cinder, (I subsequently purchased the bus from the fellow for $75, fixed it
and drove it 45k, but that's a nuther story), anyway...REPLACE YOUR FUEL LINES
every few years. Use the real-deal, cotton-covered hose from a reputable
source. Replace any questionable clamps and fittings. Your fuel is pressurized
to about 30 psi and creates a scary fountain of fuel spray when there is a
burst line. If you can't recall when your hoses were replaced, schedule it
ASAP.
