Thanks to everyone for the helpful replies. Friday morning, after I recover
from the Calexico concert and following festivities, I will install a
working fuel pump and a new canister style filter. The van will start, idle
and run. I will then order a gas tank gasket/line repair kit and fix the
fuel leak.
