Hi David, Is it just the one Gromit per tank? And, where did you find a replacement tank?

The grommets on the top are available many places, I got mine from Van-Again. I had to replace one tank as I snapped off the small fuel line connector when taking the tank out. Some care is necessary to avoid having the same fate. The tanks were difficult to get out on my '85 and more difficult to put back. There is one bolt holding them in place and the back fits into a notch and then has to be pressed up and back to line up with the bolt. Just takes some effort and patience. Other model years may have a different design. > > Dave B > Boise > From: Vanagon Mailing List <vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com <mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com>> on behalf of Eric Caron <ericcaron96@COMCAST.NET <mailto:ericcaron96@COMCAST.NET>> > Sent: Wednesday, May 4, 2022 7:17 PM > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM>> > Subject: Evaporation tanks help > > Hi folks, > > My 84 has tired vapor tanks in the wheel wells.
