Fuel tank replacement...

Post by VWCamperfan »

Quick one here (for a change!)
Just replacing fuel tank for a new one and noticed that the metal pipes between the rubber hoses that go to the expansion tanks are a bit corroded!
Question is... Can I just replace them with one length of fuel line or will I have to get new metal pipes as well?

yes either ,probably easiest with all new lengths of hose meaning no joins.
just may not clip into the mounts so easy!
