If you mean the long center one, then if it is leaking you should see a wet spot under your gas pedal. Pull up the carpet and look. It will have a funny smell, too. If you can make your own, know that it's a bubble flare, not a standard flare. You can reuse the original line nuts, but make the line 88" long. You can buy these lines at most FLAPS, but they're a little short, and if you make it yourself, this extra length will be very welcome. Start by practicing the bubble flare first. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
