Volks,

I replaced the pressure equalization hose and the two tees today.  What
took me two days last weekend took me less than two hours today.

I was right, the tee under the drivers seat was cracked.  All is well now.
No leaks, no gas smell.  Life is good!!

When I bought my vanagon last year I thought the only place to get repair
parts was the list vendors.  During this ordeal I have learned that my
local VW dealer is very helpful.  They get a parts shipment on Friday of
each week and if you place your order by Wednesday you have your parts for
the weekend with no shipping charge. The parts I have ordered so far have
been slightly less that list vendor prices.  No slam on the list vendors,
they are very nice folks trying to make a living, just a statement of fact.

The parts person at my local VW dealer is a cute little single lady who has
taken and interest in my Westy but, that has nothing to do with the above
statement.
