Will this Fuel Line Adapter/Fitting Kit fit my Vanagon, and are there any model or year restrictions I should know about?

This kit is designed specifically for 2WD Vanagon models from 1980-1991. It will not fit Syncro (4WD) models or earlier buses. If you have a 2WD Vanagon, either air-cooled or water-cooled, this kit provides the correct adapters and fittings to replace your factory fuel line connections. Always double-check your engine's configuration before ordering to ensure compatibility.

What tools and skills do I need to install this GoWesty Fuel Line Adapter/Fitting Kit, and can a DIYer handle the job?

Basic hand tools like screwdrivers, wrenches, and pliers are all that’s needed for most installations. The kit replaces old plastic factory fittings with robust metal adapters, so no special tools or fuel line crimpers are required. Anyone comfortable working under the Vanagon and with basic automotive skills can install this kit. Clear instructions are provided, making the process straightforward for both experienced mechanics and first-time do-it-yourselfers.

Why upgrade to this kit instead of sticking with original plastic fuel line fittings, and how many kits will I need for a complete replacement?

Original plastic Vanagon fuel line fittings are known to become brittle and prone to leaks or cracks over time—posing a significant safety risk. The GoWesty Fuel Line Adapter/Fitting Kit uses high-quality, durable metal components that offer a stronger, longer-lasting, and safer connection. For each 2WD Vanagon, only one kit is needed to replace all the main fuel line adapter fittings. Upgrading ensures peace of mind and improved reliability over the stock setup or cheaper alternatives.

Ce kit de raccord adaptateur est utilisé pour relier la conduite de carburant en caoutchouc souple à la conduite de carburant en plastique dur . Deux sont utilisés du côté de l'alimentation en carburant haute pression (éliminant également le raccord pare-feu en plastique sujet aux pannes), et deux autres peuvent être utilisés du côté du retour basse pression. Volkswagen a initialement collé la ligne dure dans la ligne souple et les a serrés ensemble du côté retour car il s'agit d'une basse pression, mais nous préférons la connexion plus sécurisée de ces raccords adaptateurs. Nous vous recommandons de commander et d'installer deux kits (quatre adaptateurs) pour une connexion durable et une plus grande tranquillité d'esprit.

Compatible avec : tous les Vanagon 2WD 1980-91. Non requis pour Syncro 4WD

Le kit comprend :
• (2) raccords d'adaptateur en aluminium barbelé
• (4) colliers de serrage en acier inoxydable

L'installation nécessite une pince à pince pour collier d'oreille
