Subject:Replacing expansion tank hoses
From:David Rose
Date:Tue, 7 Sep 2004 09:31:18 -0400

Hi All,

I have a 1987 Vanagon camper.  The hoses on the expansion tank are rotting
out.  Gas spills out if I do a fill.  I called a local dealer and the parts
guy was not even able to tell me the diameter of the hoses. I called several
online parts places and nobody could tell me anything about the hoses or
what is involved in replacing them.  

I have a few questions...
How much of a pain is this to fix? 
Do I have to pull the gas tank to replace all of the hoses? 
What type of hoses do I use? (looks like I will not be get at all of them if
I use the type that needs a clamp)

Thanks for any info.  

David Rose
