Ce kit de raccords adaptateurs sert à relier la conduite de carburant souple en caoutchouc à la conduite de carburant rigide en plastique. Deux raccords sont utilisés du côté de l’alimentation en carburant haute pression (ce qui élimine aussi le raccord en plastique du tablier, sujet aux défaillances), et deux autres peuvent être utilisés du côté du retour basse pression. À l’origine, Volkswagen insérait la conduite rigide dans la conduite souple et les fixait ensemble avec un collier de serrage du côté du retour, car la pression y est basse. Nous préférons toutefois la connexion plus sûre offerte par ces raccords adaptateurs. Nous recommandons de commander et d’installer deux kits (quatre raccords adaptateurs) pour obtenir une connexion durable et une plus grande tranquillité d’esprit.

Compatibilité : Tous les Vanagon 2WD de 1980 à 1991. Non requis pour les Syncro 4WD

Le kit comprend :
• (2) raccords adaptateurs en aluminium à embout cannelé
• (4) colliers à oreille en acier inoxydable


L’installation nécessite une pince pour colliers à oreille

a necessity

If you are doing your fuel lines use these to transition from rubber to plastic.

Good idea but after seeing how much the inner diameter of the fitting shrinks down the size of the fuel line i won't be installing them.

Hi Brandon, thanks for the feedback and sharing your concerns. The ID of the fittings need to be that small for the OD to be small enough for the plastic line to fit over the barb. Our engineers considered the potential for them to too restrictive. But given the total restriction over the length the entire closed loop system plus the fuel pressure regulator is orders of magnitude greater than what these two fittings represent, it is in fact a non-issue. Total fuel volume is not reduced at all. We encourage you to give them a try. GoWesty Engineering Approved!

Safety first

The old plastic fitting cracked and started leaking. Don’t have to worry about that anymore. Snug fit.

Clean connection

Cleaner connection than sliding the two hoses over each other.

Fuel line transition

The multi-diameter splice is a good product, and a decent solution to the plastic transition piece located on the firewall. That said, I believe a better solution is to run new fuel line from the supply tee to the fuel filter and bypass the hard line to fuel line transition that is located DIRECTLY ABOVE the starter. The fuel fitting was placed on the firewall only for the convenience of factory assembly. If you ever need to disconnect the fuel line from the engine it is as easy to remove it from the t-fitting as it is to remove it from the plastic firewall fitting. Same is true for the return line.
