Hi Robert;

That gas smell is VERY dangerous.  It can put you to sleep and cause a crash, not to mention that it is an explosive condition.  You are losing gas, and it may be accumulating on top of your tank.

Put a call out to the list and find a vendor or listee who can get you those lines and seals.  I did it myself and know they are available.  The area you are in has shops to do that work if you want.

Please take care of this dangerous situation.  We do not need a flaming bus horror story.  There are only so many Vanagons, and folks who love them, left out there.
