This  decaying internal fuel hose and clogged internal screen is
something I didn't want to know about --- but there it is!! Are the
later models prone to this problem? I have an 88 GL  - two in fact.  Am I
looking at inevitably having to replace my fuel tanks?? Is it just a
matter of time? I hope not, but it sure sounds that   way.

John, all Vanagon tanks are the same.  Keep  'em full while in storage goes a
long way to its longevity.   Otherwise live with it !
