Samantha,

Follow Roger Whittakers advice - give us a whole lot more info. WE have
members of this list all over the place - some near, some far - and some
may be close enough to you to run out and lend a hand. But we can't help
if we don't know what you are driving, where you broke down, and your
route and destination.

All that said - Vanagons are notorious for having fuel leak problems.
And from the sound of it - yours may be suffereing simply from old age,
and some seals are leakning, hoses have ruptured - who knows. It will
take a simple methodical go-thru to find the problem and correct it. But
with these vans - you really do want to replace all fuel related items
with new - particularly those fuels lines and tanks seals. There have
been scores of vans that have burned completely because this was not
taken care of. DO NOT attempt to drive it again until all those fuel
lines are change out.Don't believe me? - just ask the volks on this list
to provide their links to burned vans - it's a horrible sight!

Good luck.

Car puttered out and would not restart as we ascended a mountain on the way back home. Had to get a tow (buddy had free towing with their wireless package). When the tow got to us, he yanked Mean Mr. Mustard up on the bed and MOREEE gas poured out!
