Doc, get it to Hershey and I can get it down to Scotty from there. I will either have a trailer with me or my tow dolly.

Shoe, taking to Hershey would be the same as taking it to Scotty. If I can get the fuel fittings then the bus can drive. The only reason to get it to Scotty is so I can work on it while I am down there before Hershey.

I pretty much knew that but as your friend it was still my duty to offer to help anyway I could. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Going for A hail Mary. I have some of the stock type nylon fuel tubing. It looks like I can still get some at various places. I did my 911 engine in the 914 with this stuff and it worked fine with my assembly. So, I can make the current setup work while awaiting to see if there is better. Stay tuned as all I have on hand is 2mm ID and I need some other sizes, but I am off tomorrow so I can go forage for the other sizes.

Lets see.

Well that was a waste. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Napa site lists the hard nylon hoses I need but when I call they are "obsolete" so they do not have them.

Next.

After fiddling around with this for a while, it is still no use as I need the special fittings from the fuel pump to the accumulator to the dist. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Only one guy that I know has this.

Cheer up!

You can always drive your spare van. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

On second thought, that would be an incentive to finish the VW.

So, for $50 I can get all the hose from McMaster to rebuild the system to stock. I have just bought the 12mm banjo I needed for the fuel pump output, now all I need to figure out is what fittings are on the pressure accumulator and where to buy them.

Anyone know what they are called and where I can score a set?

Ordered the hose, ordered the 12mm banjo, here are the fittings I need. I can use ones cut from a CIS line if any one has some (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) These are for use with regular fuel line.

take the accumulator to Lowes and go to the plumbing section. Tons of brass pipe thread fittings. I can almost guarantee that is what you need.....almost...........

Big surprise, Lowes had nothing. Tractor Supply had hydraulic fittings that were close, but I need metric (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Scotty, to tow the bus to your shop will cost about $500 less gas. No way.

On my way to OH tomorrow I will be passing a parts yard and will see if I can be victorious in finding the fittings on the stuff I need. Still not giving up. Hershey is my new goal as I do not see Scotty's as a possibility.

Got a truck hydraulic repair place nearby? They stock tubing, fittings, accumulators, and such for big truck brake, air, oil, and water lines. Also bend lines, make custom stuff, lift gate hydraulics, etc. Volvo-White makes trucks so maybe metric parts available too. Got to keep those big rigs running. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Also try hydraulic repair parts stores. They made hoses and stuff for backhoes, etc. I found steering rack seals there that fit a Honduh.

Mebbe you get lucky sailor.

Its expensive, but could you convert over to AN fittings and hook to standard (ethanol rated) FI fuel line? AN4 or AN6 would get you what you need, and is easily found.

I went to a hydraulic shop today and they did have the fittings, but only in crimp. One hose from the fuel pump to the accumulator would cost me $69. Then, I would have to figure out how I would get form the accumulator to my distributor as nothing they have would work.

I know I can get fittings from the UK....its just a time thing.

Is this what your looking for? After seeing the link I looked through my stash and found these. The only thing is I'm not sure the fitting is metric. I tried to screw it on about 6 other male fittings I have in my brass stuff and it wouldn't thread on stuff that I know is not metric.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) It's a crap shoot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
