What exactly is this firewall grommet for my 2WD Vanagon?

This is a specialized fuel-resistant rubber grommet designed specifically for the high-pressure fuel feed line on your 1980-1991 2WD Vanagon. It's crucial for securely positioning the barbed aluminum hose adapter where the hard fuel line meets the flexible rubber line at the firewall, ensuring a safe and proper fuel system connection.

Will this grommet fit my Vanagon if it's a 4WD Syncro model?

No, this particular firewall grommet is only for the 2WD Vanagon models from 1980-1991. It is not needed for the 4WD Syncro models because their fuel line routing and firewall configuration are different.

I'm replacing fuel lines, do I need this and a separate grommet for the return line?

This grommet is for the high-pressure fuel FEED side only. If you are doing a full fuel line service, you will likely need a separate grommet for the low-pressure return side as well. You can find that specific return line grommet here on our site to ensure you have all the correct parts for your Vanagon's fuel system.

Why is the material important? Is it durable?

Yes, durability and safety are key! This firewall grommet is made from fuel-resistant NBR rubber, which is specifically chosen because it can withstand prolonged contact with gasoline without degrading. This is essential for a critical fuel system component like this, ensuring it remains flexible and secure over time and stays properly sealed at the firewall.

Good grommet
Won't be using for its intended purpose as im going to make a hardline to replace the plastic ones and will need to drill it open a bit for a 5/16" metal line.

Every little bit helps when trying to keep your van from burning up. I bought these to help from fuel mishaps. Annnnd they’re cheap, why not?

Great article! I recommend it.

Good quality

good quality rubber, will do its job

Great alternative to original plastic piece…

… fits very securely in the firewall. Add one of their metal barbed joiners with this grommet and get the hard plastic line and rubber fuel line to safely connect. Thanks again GW!
