I just did the fuel tank vent lines. Kind of a pain but I replaced everything under there. I had two lines leaking fuel everythime I filled up. No more leaks or smells.

I did this a couple of years ago. Pulled the tank after advice from Wilford. There are return lines which go bad, plastic pieces which break, a crossover pipe, and various grommets. Not wanting to do the job again, I replaced everything. You could see where the leak had been going for a long time, beginning from a grommet on the top of the tank. No more problems after that, she was good as new. I have the crossover pipe if you want it. It was still good. There is a message in the archives with all the part numbers. Can't remember where the return line enters the tank, but I don't think that is your problem. hk

Has anyone had any experience with the fittings on top of the fuel tank leaking? Where does the return line enter the tank? I have chased down the gasoline smell to the front of the van. Lines to vent tanks under front doors were replaced 2 years ago. Gasoline smell appears to be coming in front air vents. John Lauterbach Macon, GA '84 DL
