Good Luck.  Many of the pieces necessary are specialized items, like the
grommets, plastic crossoverpipe, etc., which are DEFINITELY NOT available
from the FLAPS like Autozone, Checkers, Kragens, Carquest,
O'Reilleys......Even the filler seal is only available from the dealer or
the list vendors like Bus Depot, Vanagain, Van Cafe, etc.  And the dealer
does not stock any of this stuff anymore, it's only special order, with as
long as a week for it to come depending on which regional warehouse it comes
from.

You may have to suck it up and call one of the list vendors on Monday to get
a next day or 2 day shipment to El Paso if you wanna "get 'r' done" before
Thursday.

You may be able to get the correct sized hoses from yer local vee-dub supply
house.  Most of them are 5mm ID hoses, the same that are used on carb model
bugs and buses, about 3 foot worth.

Have a floor jack handy to lower the tank down and follow the rest of the
procedures in the archives.  It's about a 3 or 4 hour job depending yer
skills.  I spent the weekend taking my time on mine because I had other
stuff to do while performing this outa many other maintenance tasks on
mine.  Whatever you do, don't rush the job.
