Wondering if anyone has had to replace the hard plastic fuel line that runs from the fuel filter to the rubber fuel line that attaches to plastic fitting at the firewall. I was sure my plastic fitting was leaking but turns out that part was ok. I did replace the fuel line going from that fitting to the engine and from the hard plastic line to the plastic firewall fitting. I also replaced the plastic fitting with a metal one. When I tried starting the van gas started dripping copiously near the right rear tire. After examining that area it looks to me like the hard plastic fuel line may of been abraded by something because I found a rough stop. Pretty concerned about this because the gas was spraying onto some kind of insulation in the body which is not saturated with gas. I am letting the whole thing dry out so I can figure out how to replace this hard plastic fuel line. I dont really see this part on EKTA and even if I did is it even available? Anyone have problem with this hard plastic fuel line and what did you replace it with? Is it 7mm ID like the fuel line in the engine compartment? 90 Vanagon Multivan Tim
