Hi Volks,

My parent's 1985 westy has been suffering lately from no-starts and
poor running. This has been ongoing since the fall, and it's
definitely weather related.

We have the problem isolated to the fuel system. There's water
getting into the tank somehow. Dad had the tank replaced with a new
tank a few months back but the problem is still with us.  When it's
cold out the water freezes and the van won't start. When it's warm
out the van runs OK most of the time but will stutter and bog after
any encounter with water on the road. Since it's been a mild winter
in Toronto this year we're finding a lot of problems.

Suggestions on where to look for where the water's coming in would be
welcome.

Happy trails,
