I've done it. Cut the hose from the tank with a knife, slitting it along
the length of the nipple from the tank. Yank it off. Immediately plug on
the new hose with a pair of craftsman hose clamps (you own a vanagon and DO
have at least a set of those, don't you?) somewhere along the line. Then
run the hose from the pump to wherever you are going at your leisure.
Remove hose clamp pliers and start your car. You may lose two tablespoons
of fuel.
