Hmmmm........ .  I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, Scott.  I respect your knowledge, much superior to mine, of the Vanagon and how it works.  That said, it has been my experience, mostly, that the VW engineers did almost everything with reason.  If they vented a location, I suspect the location needed vented.  Now, I may be wrong, and I realize that many modifications are made to the Vanagon without compromising function, and a few (eliminating or changing plastic fitting on the primary fuel line for example) improve it.
