I have done this job many, many times.  Here is my write up about it on my
site:
http://www.vanagain.com/drop-and-reinstall-a-gas-tank-on-a-2wd-vanagon/

We also have new gas tanks and all of the seals and fittings you will need
as well.  Here are the links:

If you purchase from me you can call me on the phone with any questions or
problems you run into and I will give you personal phone support.  I do
this for all my customers as they will attest to.

I think the max speed on that stock speedo is 85 mph, later model ones went
to 100 (both are very optimistic :-)
