Hi all,

Here is what I got.  The microfiche at the dealership was from the 86-87
Vanagon -- that was the closest thing they had to my 90 Carat.  I haven't
received the parts yet or tried to make them fit, but this is how I believe
it will work:

Pressure Equalization Tube [1]       251 201 147 B        $25.25
Grommets for pressure eq tube and filler neck small tube [3]:      N 901 004
01        $1.80
Plastic T Piece [1]        113 127 563        $2.20
Grommet for plug on top of plastic bottles [2]    N 901 005 01        $6.20
Fuel Filler Neck Grommet [1]        251 201 139 A        $5.80
Fuel Guage Sending Unit Grommet [1]    (Bus Depot)  $3.50
10mm fuel hose @ $1.50 / foot.  I don't know how much is needed -- I'll just
replace what I see.
7mm fuel line hose @ 1.50 / foot.  I bought 10 feet, thinking that I would
use it instead of the hard plastic lines over the tank.  I have since then
figured out that I should have bought the 5mm stuff, so I will have to buy
more.
10 mm hose clamps (smooth inside)    N 102 582 01    $1.80  (I bought all
they had, 4 of them)
7mm hose clamps (smooth inside)  I ordered 10 of them from Ken at $1.50
each.  I hope they go down to the 5mm hose ok.

It also appears that I completely forgot about where the two lower / rear
hoses from the expansion bottles go through the wall of the tank.  I guess
I'll have to see what kind of grommets are used there.

I hope this works, too.
