How Often Do You Replace the Rubber Fuel Hose?
I used to replace mine every 3 years.
At vw-resource.com he recommends replacing it every 5 years. http://www.vw-resource.com/fuel_line.html It's always a good precaution to replace all four sections of rubber line about every five years. John Connolly (Aircooled.Net) advises- I strongly recommend cloth braided fuel hose. Every 6 months, you should inspect it! Bend it over 180 degrees, and if it cracks or is stiff, REPLACE IT. Leaking fuel hose is the #1 cause of those smoldering VWs you see on the side of the road. Don't be a statistic! |
