Subject:bill of materials needed-r&r fuel tank hoses and seals
From:nick greenaway

i need to replace what seals and hoses go to the fuel tank on my 83
westy. i need to know what to have on hand before i drop the tank. i
can see one hose (a breather? underneath and going into the main
filler) is brittle and breaking, and immediately weeps on filling, i
imagine the rest are the same. i dont think i can afford to wait till
after my cross country trip next week- not only does it leak on
fill-up but i think a low pressure under the van while driving may be
sucking out gas too- i had it happen on a mercedes diesel once, i
left the fuel cap partly open once, lost half a tank.

also, whats the procedure for dropping the tank?
thanx in advance
nick
