Subject:      Shade Tree  Gas Tank vent repair?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


A man wh shall remain nameless, told me his solution to the vanagon gas tank
Y-pipe replacement the other day and wondered if this method had been tried
by anyone else.


He approximated where the gromets went into the tank, and then took a hole
saw and drilled through the flooring of the van, for top side access.  Made
it a very quicki and painless fix.  He added a few tabs under the hole, kept
the old steel discs and sheetmetal screwed the discs back in place and
siliconed any gap left.  Is this the epitomy of Arkansas ShadeTree
Mechanics, or is this guy on to something?  Forgot to ask whit diameter hole
he drilled, but I'll let the list folk decide if it's worth asking him.
