I've got a 2WD Vanagon and my fuel line is looking pretty rough. Is this 6mm hard line the right replacement, and will 13 feet be enough?

Yes, this 6mm hard plastic fuel line is exactly what you need for your 2WD Vanagon. The 13-foot length is perfect for replacing both the main fuel supply line from the pump to the firewall and the return line from the firewall back to the soft line near the tank. It's a much more durable, long-term solution than rubber.

Will this GoWesty fuel hard line fit my 1986 2WD Vanagon, or is it only for newer models?

This fuel hard line is designed to fit all 1980-1991 2WD Vanagon models, including your 1986. It's a direct replacement for the original fuel lines on these vans. Just be sure you don't have a Syncro 4WD, as this line is not compatible with those models.

How does this plastic hard fuel line compare to the old rubber ones on my Vanagon? Is it a better option for the long run?

Absolutely! This GoWesty hard plastic fuel line is a superior, long-term solution. It's much more resistant to degradation from heat and fuel than the old rubber lines, which can crack and lead to leaks. Installing this hard line significantly improves the safety and reliability of your fuel system.

I'm not a professional mechanic, but I want to tackle this fuel line replacement myself on my 2WD Vanagon. Is this hard line difficult to install?

Many DIYers find this hard line straightforward to install. It's designed to be bent and routed relatively easily into place. While you'll need to consider proper mounting and securing the line, it's a practical upgrade that doesn't require specialized tools beyond standard automotive hand tools. It’s a rewarding job that really improves your Vanagon’s fuel system integrity.
