Re: [T3] fuel line replacement

Kevin: 

  A VW FLAPS is a VW Freindly Local Auto Part Supply, or similar.
  
  Just make sure the fabric coated stuff is for FI use, if you have a
  Fuel Injected system.  The original stuff is black, and that's what
  I got for a replacement, the brake line hose looks the same, only
  it's blue.  So be careful with what you get.  Fortunately, I can 
  trust my local FLAPS to make sure I get the right stuff. I learned
  early on it is wise to have a good relationship with your local
  suppliers, seems like they work harder trying to find T3 stuff for
  you!

  BTW, yesterday I filled up my fuel tank and I noticed that there 
  was a STRONG smell of gas fumes.  I recently replaced the tank
  overflow tube.  I checked everywhere and I can't find any leaks.
  After driving the car for about 30 miles, the odor is diminishing.

  Why do I feel like my T3 is a rolling Molotov Cocktail?
