Always something to fix or paint up there anyway.

        Not necessarily true ~ Back in 2014 I replaced the Gravity Valves and Grommets & also did

extensive plastic welding of Cracks in the Tank around those Valves while the Tank was In Place ~

        Have Pics to show how for those interested ~ It's something VW Should have done ~
