The syncro tank would fit, if you lowered the engine/tranny as it is stock
in Syncros. The space above the tranny is too small on 2WDs.

That question has occurred to me as well.  If I could carry an extra ten
gallons of fuel, my van would have a range of over 500 miles!  Ken has a
nice replacement tank (22 gal) on his site, but the price... ouch!

OK, I got thinking (and everybody knows what happens after that)...

I noticed that my neighbor's syncro has a fuel tank located at the rear
of the van, but my GL has the tank in the front...

Soooo, has anyone ever run dual tanks?  I mean, being as how Vanagons
get such wonderful gas mileage and all...

Just a thought.
