It's Friday, and Friday the 13th, and it's about my Vanagon GL....

About 3 years ago, on a Friday the 13th, I was getting ready for work.
 The house windows were open and I heard a cat yeowlling.  Looking out
the window, I couldn't see the cat, it sounded like it was coming from
under the my van.  I get ready and jump in the Vanagon and head out to
work.  No cat to be found.  I get a few blocks from my house, and I
feel this rattling and banging, it feels like it's coming from under
the van.  Holy cats!  I think that maybe the cat climbed up under the
van and is riding along with me.  Since I'm close to home, I turn
around, head home, and pull in the driveway.  I get out and start
looking under the van.  No cat, thank goodness.  What do I find....?
A leaking fuel line at the plastic junction in the firewall over the
transmission/starter....drip, drip, drip...

Weird but true....ghost kitty was looking out for me that day.

Happy Friday and check those fuel lines....
