Update from the local VW mechanic (Bela's in Burbank,
Calif - had honest experiences with this guy btw) ---
he says his also spills gas if he fills it all the way
up - that the vent hoses are going bad...he quoted
$150 to drop the tank and replace them with new nylon
hoses, but said there is really no need -just don't
"top" off the tank - fill it 3/4 full and no problems
with spill over, and is safe and fine 2 drive...i
concur...
