Default How Often Do You Replace the Rubber Fuel Hose?

My apologies Randall, I was just being a silly bu...er . A poor attempt at
humour!. I actually had one of those type on my 1300 Beetle back in 67 and
I,d buy another of that type of filter if I could get one..These days
though they are all those nasty little moulded plastic things. That was
beautiful little car. I commuted 160 miles a day for about 4 years (
nearly killed myself on the first day with its evil handling) , when I sold
her the compression was so low when ignition was turned off the engine spun
for 3-4 seconds. Apart from a seized front right slave cylinder it never
missed a beat.
Which is another thing. On all my VW,s the right front slave
cylinder/caliper has caused issues. Seizing mainly, purely coincidence? Cant
think of any other reason.

Cheers
John
