Got mine from Van Caf� along with all the bits.  Rock Auto sells them too,
but they may be too cheap to be any good.  Be careful installing the
sender--the tabs on the tank "twist lock" need to be raised a bit on the
leading corners so the sender can be twisted in.  On mine with a new O-ring
the plastic sender flange hit the edge and would not twist in, and you risk
damaging the sender if you try to force it.

Subject: replacing fuel tank

Time for the old one to go....I am a little confounded as to which one I
need to purchase for replacement as there are many options...but??? Which
one to buy?

So what can you all recommend for a fuel tank replacement for a 1.9 L,1985
Vanagon GL/Westy?

I might add after several attempts at 'dropping the old tank" following the
subscribed procedure... without success...so after much searching and
exasperation on my part;  I found that a PO/or previous boob " fixit guy"
 had drilled right into the old tank with a sheet metal screw...hence the
fact that the old tank suspended with no support at the rear end of the
tank local...the things people do,eh.

Thanks for all comments/suggestions.  DS
