Are we sure about this, how about on bays?, seems the two taps
on my injected '76 were welded/braded in the tank, as were on
a carbed '74 parts Bus I had (only 1 tap though).  I have not
looked at my '71, have been avoiding the fuel lines (a stupid
idea admittedly) but really like the reserve valve idea if it
will work.
