I sell a larger 22.5 gallon gas tank that fits in 2wd Vanagons. You do have to cut the rear support for the tank and move it back several inches and reweld it (tank comes with longer support brackets). You use your old fuel level sender as it measures the level not the volume. These are $679. I am getting one for a list member right now if someone else wants to get in on this order please let me know. So if you were getting 250 miles on the stock 15 gallon tank then you would increase your range to 375 miles (my numbers show you are only getting around 16.6 miles per gallon, yikes!) A normally running van getting around 19 mpg would have a range of 285 miles with the stock tank and 427.5 miles with the new tank (a significant increase). You can see a drawing of the tank on my accessories page on my website. Thanks, Ken Wilford http://www.vanagain.com John 3:16 Office (856)-765-1583 Shop (856)-327-0027 Fax (856)-327-2242 |
