Go to Ken W's www.Van-again.com and  look around. Then call Ken and order
the crossover piece, fuel line kit, and gromets. Find a warm place to drop
the tank and replace the pieces. Otherwise don't fill it up all the way.
Common problem. I fixed my 84's in August after I put on new head gaskets
and exhaust.
