Thanks everyone for the help with my gas leak issue.  I will be removing
the tank when I get a chance to investigate unless I cannot find the
time in which case I will take it to a shop.  If indeed the tank itself
is bad, do I have alternatives as far as different sizes for the
replacement?  Did all years of vanagon use the same size?  I was hoping
that maybe some model used a larger tank than my stock 84 Westy.  If
anyone knows if this is possible thanks for the input.
