Check the carbon canister and the hoses going in/out of it. The screen
that hold the carbon will often rust away allowing the carbon to clog
the vent lines.

Subject: fuel tank breathing?

I have noticed some clunking coming from my fuel tank.
 After I have turned off the van and run over to open
the gas cap I can look under the van and see it expand
once the cap is off.  It is an 87 vanagon, 123K miles.
 Before I decide to take the tank out to see what is
going on, is there a "simple" fix I should know about?
 Thank You, Corey
