I don't think there is much, read than ANY chance in slosh repairing a Vanagon tank. The fuel pickup is in that damn float with the two tubes attahced and will simply stick to the bottom. PM is the key here, get to it before it's a problem. Otherwise, well I got a fair one for free to anybody around the DC area needing one, only fair mind you, OK outside and I let it sit out in the rain one night so a faint haze of trivial surface rust inside, but I had cleaned it up and rustoleumed the exterior. I gave up on it cause around here I could get a nice used one for $50, still probably can. Something else I have this bizzare feeling that something in the float or it's filter screen itself may rust, hard to believe it would not be stainless though. Oh one last thing, All this may only apply to later (84up) tanks if that is true sorry, my 81's had been replaced so I may never have seen a true early tank. John
