The NAPA guy here in town has the return hose, but since he get`s on my case for ordering MB parts on line, and not from him. he is off my list.
How ever, right across the street is a VW performance shop, and they carry the propper German Braded return hose.

I also carry some in a Zip lock bag in the trunk. I just keep 3 ft in one piece, and cut as needed when out on the road. also keep a pair of Dykes, needle nose plires and a genuine Bosch 24mm open end wrench for the fuel filter, in a seperate freezer zip lock. hand full of various light bulbs in one bag and several Nitrile gloves in another bag. these seperate bags are in a larger 10X10" zip lock to keep it all together, clean and dry.

Yes, leaking fuel can quickly waste more money then paying for some extra return line and even having to pay the postage on it if you had to have it shipped.

The flexible black vinyl tubing I tried in a pinch has been working for over 4 years. It costs $ 20 + - for 100 ft. 1/4 inch O.D. The stuff from MB and local parts places, that is braided rubber, cracks more easily on the 617 over here. The import parts place had some they swore by and it was too large I.D. It leaked from the get go. It is a newer kind of vinyl ,used for irrigation lines and is food grade. Not that it matters. The stuff from home depot that is stiff wont work, obvoiusly. This stuff is glossy black and very flexible and homogeneous. I know it seems crazy, but you cant argue with sucess. I could tell where exactly to get it but I do not want to infringe. Easy search FDA 1/4 OD flexible black vinyl tubing. Starts with Hy. Ironically enough it can be bought from the richest man in the world.
