Safety Tips courtesy of Jeff Woodall
Since I had the motor out, I
decided to check out my fuel lines.
I had replaced them 3 years ago with braided German lines. When I inspected the lines the
inner rubber was cracking severely, so of course I changed all fuel lines. Whenever you
take your motor out always inspect your fuel lines. Remember the #1 cause of engine
fires in air cooled VWs are cracked fuel lines!! We don't want to lose any buses or
DBGer's for that matter, so every 2 to 3 years change your fuel lines ! ! !
Also, when working under your rusty buses always use safety glasses when pounding or
chiseling.
Always make sure your buses are safely on jack stands!!!
Always carry a fire extinguisher! And keep it in a easy to access place and in the
same place always. ( I keep mine right behind drivers seat !)
Carry road flares or safety reflectors.
