I'll have a spare set of lines with me next time
Hmm, first a spare boost tube, now carry spare injector lines. At this
rate,
sometime next year you'll be towing a spare Vanagon behind you! :-D
Hopefully it was just a fatigued line. Usually it's because of missing
clamps but since all 3 of yours were there then it leaves fatigue, since
everything else was tight too.
Bummer, kind of like my maidedn voyage with the Dasher. Made it
to Seattle and then about 2 hours from home and blew the front out of
the headgasket! Turned out the PO had cracked both front, block bolt
holes. :-P When it heated, it lifted the head at the front and blew
that section clean out! Limped to the nearest town and called Dad.
Luckily you just pull a few 10mm head nuts, lift the front bumper and
slip on the tow bar! :-)
