I have the small plastic filler neck installed at the moment with its
grommet weather stripping adhesive sealing it to the large grommet in the
tank so I have the parts for either, didn't know on the fuel feed,return or
for those tanks in the front fender wells!!

The fuel tank is not that hard to get at all.
A few vendors sell them.
I recommend getting the highest quality one you can find, not the cheapest
one you can find.

I got one a few months ago from Van Cafe and was quite pleased with it.

and.........there is another factor you should know about ...2WD Vanagon
fuel tanks come in two versions..
yours has a large metal filler neck, which can be a real pain to get back
in where the small screws are at the top ...where those screws to through a
rubber boot into a ( nicely over-built ) bronze collar...
solid, but nasty to work on.

the later 'other style' uses a small diameter plastic fuller neck, and
those are a breeze to remove and re-install.
When I got the Van Cafe tank ..it's the one for the later smaller plastic
filler neck,
and they sold a good used filler neck to go with their tank, or I sold the
customer one of mine.

That's the Supplier, the tank, and the type of filler neck I recommend ..
and I expect Van Cafe sells new level senders too ..
and those are all the same for all 2WD vanagons as far as I know .
I've never had to replace one.
