Hi Ben, Another common problem are the gast tank breather lines. . Most of the breather lines are steel but they are connected with rubber and that is where they leak, but only when the tank is full. To make matters worse, there's a connector behind the spare tire well where no-one would normally think to look. There's a very good diagram of these lines on Richard Atwell's website: http://homepage.mac.com/ratwell/.Pictures/FuelHose/09- FuelBreatherHoses.jpg Happy trails, Greg Potts Toronto, Ontario, Canada 1973/74/79 Westfakia Conversion **Bob the Tomato** LY3H 1977 Sunroof Automatic L63H/L90D http://www.pottsfamily.ca/westfakia http://www.geocities.com/busesofthecorn On 8-Apr-04, at 2:47 PM, Ben T wrote: > Very sorry to hear of your loss.
