Blazecut Automatic Fire Suppression
One of the first things an experienced Vanagon owner tells someone who just purchased their first Vanagon is "CHANGE YOUR FUEL LINES!". Often times these 20+ year old vehicles have their original, dry rotted fuel lines which have caused many vans to burn to the ground. Not good.

Rear Table Mod
Ever since I purchased my 1987 Vanagon Westfalia 3 years ago I've always hated camping/traveling with either of my front or rear stock tables. They always seem to get in the way and the rear long table made it difficult to open the rear vertical closet door. On my next road trip, I need access to a table top so I can edit photos and blog while on the road so it got me to reevaluate my table situation.

Adding a Water Temp Sender
I wanted a secondary water temperature gauge installed in my van so I can visually see a number on how my water temp is running. My stock gauge still works and this addition does not replace it. It's just a secondary gauge to keep tabs on your system. I've added one to my own van and this documentation is from adding one to another member's vans.
