I just did the seal-replacement dance with my 85 westy's  fuel tank.
Sadly the grommets in the top of my fuel expansion tanks have  totally
deteriorated, one of them appears to have split in two several  years ago, and
the other one had turned into a pile of goo.  So, I  need new ones.  However,
I
have not been able to find these grommets  at any of the normal online vanagon
suppliers...  Anyone know where I  can get these?  I also managed to break the
driver's side tank's vent  valve while trying to remove the pile of
goo/grommet
from it.  It  appears that busdepot sells this part...

Did you try the VW dealer near you ?  I  have them listed on my _Vanagon
Items Forsale_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)  webpage.  Guess you did
not look there.  They come  from my friendly ? neighborhood VW dealer !
