I haven't had to do it, but there have been several '"how-to's", hints and tips, that
would be in the archives. Also see Ken's page at Vanagain.com for several tutorials.

> Hi List,

> You may disagree but I believe I've encountered the most frustrating Vanagon

> 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
