The Vanagon gas tank is a saddle design.  If you drive on lots of
dusty, western roads, like I have, you'll build up a thick layer
of dust in the saddle.  A little moisture in winter and there it
goes--rust.  This over 15 years.

So you can drive every day and still have gas tank problems with
a 2wd Vanagon....
