Hi, All.
I've had 2 81 VW's, Rabbit and Dasher wagon, The only fuel related problem
that I had with either of them was that the hose from the tank to the fuel
line, in the rear of the car , was "braided hose" and when checked
(finally!) was found to be wet. (sound familiar?). Replacing the hose let
me park the car and an hour later restart, just as it's supposed to, and
not have the fuel run back to the tank due to air creeping in through the
failing hose. This was especially troublesome when parked facing uphill.
Check all of the fuel hoses, would be my first job before forking over the
cash.
YMMV
