Subject:Re: Gas Tank Vent "T" fitting needed

Try the local dealer. The tube and both fittings goes for around $25. When
you reinstall it, the tube is clipped onto the van's underbody with a small
clamp you will notice, then the tank is installed and the fittings pushed
into the grommets. Put a dab of silicon grease around the opening of the
grommets first. Also, cut and attach new vent hoses to the fittings, as well
as attaching new vent hoses on the tank before reinstalling it. Once it is
all in place you can attach the other ends of the vent hoses to the vapor
recovery tanks. Have fun!
