Well, I dropped said fuel tank on the 85 to find out what the heck was giving me that fuel smell... I had previously ordered all the parts from a list vendor to replace the hoses and rubbers... As I had it down and most of the hoses ready to reconstruct I found that I had 2 extra bushings...funny that...I didn't see where they went... Pulled out Bentley and turns out they go on top of the vent tanks...dropped the tanks, found the driver side one to have a VERY BAD bushing and the other satisfactory...as I was replacing one, the platic vent fitting valve thingy broke in two...WAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Lucky enough (you guys rock for your recommendations) I still have that new 85 I dragged home from IL...stole the part off of her :-) I am taking a quick break, but figgered I would send on the good word...and request... Does anyone have one of these lying around? I can just order one from one of the list vendors if need be...my new 85 is missing it now... FWIW, none of the fuel lines or bushings on the gas tank appeared to be in bad repair...thanks to the person who earlier suggested to check those bushings first...in a pinch, that's what I would do in the future before dropping the gas tank to get me by another few days.... Dave 85 GL "Baby Bus" in surgery 85 "organ donor" please send parts!!!
