Subject:Fuel Tank cross over vent/pipe
From:John Rodgers

I have the leaking tank syndrome when filling up the fuel tank to the top.
. A new tank was installed  not long  before I got the current van. Had
this problem on a previous van and a mechanic friend fixed it. Don't know
how difficult or how long it took. Was done as a favor by the friend.
Around here the few shops willing to work on a van as old as mine (1991
Carat) quote shop rates at $130/hr and project 4 hours for the job.
basically $400. Is that reasonable/? Sounds mighty high to me. Is this
cross over tube that difficult to get to? Is there a shortcut procedure?
Have any of you done this yourselves? Would you describe what you did and
how long it took, please..
