Subject:Vanagon 2WD fuel tank R & R

Hi List,

You may disagree but I believe I've encountered the most frustrating Vanagon
procedure - Yes -removing and reinstalling a 2WD fuel tank!!!!!! I removed
the tank to replace a broken primary park brake cable and to install fresh
evaporative seals & hoses and after many hours, I'm still trying to finish
the job!!! I rate the complexity of the tank reinstall equal to one-arm wall
paper hangin' or putting tooth paste back in the tube!!! The VW repair
manual was (as usual) quite brief about exactly how the tank "interlocks"
with the frame supports and when & how to connect the evap lines & tank
belly straps.

If I've missed something here and the procedure is really "so simple a child
could do it", please respond with advice as to how this seemingly simple
procedure consumed a weekend of my mechcanical effort and is still slightly
unfinished.

Regards,             John
