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.
