Hi Volks,
    The correct fuel lines for  transporters  from 75 on  is now high
pressure fuel lines not the cloth covered lines. They were recalled by vw
and not used since about 77 for fi applications.   Jim Thompson enlightened
the type 2 list about fuel lines a couple of years ago. Where are you Jim?
Anyway I had just replaced all my hoses on a bay  with the cloth covered
hoses and had to replace them again with the proper fi hoses.  All the
vendors  will have the 7mm fi hose, most applications need about 3 meters.
    Another reason the fi engines don't vapor lock is the fuel is constantly
being circulated to and from the tank and it never stays in place near the
engine long enough to get hot and vaporize, this is a good thing we can be
thankful for. I have had several mopar B blocks that vapor locked often and
were very hard to start hot.
