Mike, Bill May and other have suggested in the past that a mercedes dealer can sell you the correct mm sized fuel line that will handle the current gas/ethanol mix. In reality, the German OEM stuff should work fine for longer than a year as well. There is always a chance that a local auto parts store will have the correct size(or close enough too it) and that if they do, it is going to be of "modern" manufacture to withstand the gas mix. It sure won't look like the orignal stuff though. cheers, dave ------------------ "Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today."-James Dean On Fri, 10 Feb 2012, Mike Morehouse wrote: > Is there a source for ethanol resistant 5.5mm ID rubber OEM fuel line for a > 1972 stock Bug?
