I once had the same problem with a 2WD Sunroof van.  The valley formed into
the top of the tank was rusted through.  If the van has seen much time on
salted roads, brace yourself for this possibility.  Should you need a
replacement fuel tank, try to find a good used one.  An original Vanagon fuel
tank will, after many years, rust from the outside in, whereas the
aftermarket junk will quickly rust from the inside out.
