You may not get any.  After all, how many people have opened up an old
Vanagon tank and looked inside?  You might do as well, or better, by setting
up some good lights and a mirror system and carefully looking over the tanks
you have.  After you do that, Post!  I've never been sure exactly how these
tanks seem to clog up over time.

Subject: May the List not know this?

I have posted a few times now the questions about the Vanagon tank and it's
behavior and the puzzle that surrounds it about it's inside, because I can't
figure out how it gets plugged up not letting a drop of gas out, and having
it happened to the one that I just installed the same.
I got three responses of which one was the best, suggesting to exchange the
outlet with the return line.  No explanation about the mechanism or the
working of the inside or any procedure to follow to flush it out to have a
new like condition.
I think, I will keep on annoying for a while until I get a knowledgable
response.
