If your Vanagon still relies on the original plastic fuel rails (a.k.a. fuel distribution manifolds) and you are performing fuel delivery system upgrades, you might consider installing a pair of these bad-boys. Each fuel rail is fully machined from billet aluminum, then anodized for durability. The end caps are sealed with a fuel-safe Viton o-ring, then assembled with threadlocker. Finally, we pressure test each unit to ensure leak-proof operation.

These sleek, affordable fuel rails will last a lifetime and their lightweight design also helps maximize the lifespan of your fuel lines, which support the weight of the fuel rails in the waterboxer's unique arrangement. These fuel rails are sold as a pair, so all you need is one kit per vehicle.

Fits: All 1983-91 Vanagon with waterboxer engine.

Product note: In reality, the original black plastic fuel rails rarely fail on their own; rather, the "nipples" succumb to heavy-handed mechanics (no, not you!) in a hurry to remove the old fuel line that stubbornly hangs on. However, those plastic fuel rails are not an item you want to take a chance with, so we highly recommend upgrading to a metal fuel rail!

Took the old plastic ones out and replaced the fuel injectors, at the same time, the fuel rail is really good looking and easy to install. I’m very pleased with all the parts.

Quality Build! Great upgrade while you're there

If you are replacing fuel lines or injectors, take the time to upgrade your fuel rails. Is it necessary? Maybe not, but I don't trust 40yr old plastic. These are built well and look solid.

Metal fuel rails

Great. easy to install. it’s looks good. More importantly, I feel safe after replacing all the fuel lines with parts I ordered from your company. I especially like that fact of the prices now reasonable. kudos to your company.

very nice

Was redoing entire fuel system on my 85 Westfalia and this was a must! much more compact and durable design that significantly improves the look in the engine bay as well as giving confidence with the rest of the system upgrade to not worry a bit!

My best source for parts and information

I was facing an expensive tow and repair when I decided to once again to do it myself and trust in GoWesty’s improved parts and library. Armed with 2 new AL fuel rails, ear pliers, ear clips, and a video link (all from GW) I fixed my fuel leak and am back on the road again. Photo is before replacement of cracked fuel rail.

I bough these as part of a fuel line refresh for my van. Though my original fuel rails were in good shape, these gave me confidence my van won't burn to the ground.

good price and smaller than the rest

I like that the newest version is black and smaller that all others. Makes engine bays look better in my customers' Vanagons.

No more aging plastic in the fuel system - sounds like a good idea to me. They fit great.

Fuel System overhaul Necessity

Might as well replace all the things fuel system involved in these 40 year old Road Warriors. Lines,rails,pump,filter. Only thing left is a fuel tank and filler tube.

Lifesaver for my Volkswagen.

Great place to get parts for my vanagon anytime I need something. It's my go to rather than doing an endless search making calls and striking out. When ever anybody asks me where to find parts for there Volkswagen, I always tell them to try Gowesty. It will save them the headache I used to get trying to find parts. So anytime you need parts for your VW, Gowesty, a great place.

Shipping costs to Canada are horrendous

I have not finished installing the part I purchased from Gowesty, but it is going well.

Let’s talk about the shipping costs;
The elephant in the room is Amazon. It is essential to compare between Amazon and Gowesty.

I recently purchased a 5/16 inch rubber hose for high pressure fuel injection system on Amazon. I ordered it on a Sunday morning and I received the part the next day, in my driveway, in the boondocks, 45 min from the closest city. The cost of delivery was $0. No brokerage fees and no customs fees.

In comparison; I purchased two small parts from Gowesty at $131 USD (price was fine).

But the shipping for these parts was $35 USD. Over and above the shipping cost, I had to pay an additional $55 CDN dollars for brokerage and custom fees. To make matters worse, the shipping time from GoWesty was more than two weeks.

I feel for you (GoWesty) because you cannot possibly compete with Amazon and I cannot imagine ever purchasing anything through your website unless it is to purchase parts that are unique to Gowesty.

I love Gowesty’s website, products, how-to videos, etc. (just like I love GoWesty, Vanagain, Van Cafe and others). I just cannot afford to buy from the USA.

Thank you for your helpl

PS; UPS was awful to deal with.

replacement fuel manifolds

Nicely made aluminum manifolds that are much nicer then the original plastic ones. My suggestion to GoWesty is to have their name printed on both sides so it can be proudly displayed on both manifolds when the engine cover is removed.

Leaked

Mine leaked pretty bad. I’m lucky I didn’t catch on fire.

Have you contacted customer service about this issue?

GoWesty Aluminum Fuel Rail Set - Mmm, Mmm, Good!

I just purchased the GoWesty Aluminum Fuel Rail Set for my 1991 Vanagon. I have not yet installed the set yet, but the both the craftsmanship and attention to detail are superlative. A worthy update to my still functional, but ancient, plastic rails.

Great design

I recommend upgrading to this product as it is way better than the old plastic ones. No longer have to worry about leaks
