Problem I have is the gas line that comes out of the tank and goes into
the black cube filter is not the same size as the gas line leaving the
black cube filter.  I ordered several filters from Vanagain and non of
them fit on both sides.  BTW, when I told Ken that the first one did'nt
fit instead of having me send back a $3 fuel filter he said just keep it
and sent me a new one free of charge!  Guess I can get some kind of
adapter between the 2 lines but it would be nicer to get the right filter.
Anyone got a part # for the before the pump fuel filter on an 86 Vanagon
with the Silver filter canister.  Ive heard that this silver canister
thing may be a California emissions rarity.  My van is originally from CA.

Thanks,
