Hi All,

I have a 1987 Vanagon camper. The hoses on the expansion tank are rotting out. Gas spills out if I do a fill. I called a local dealer and the parts guy was not even able to tell me the diameter of the hoses. I called several online parts places and nobody could tell me anything about the hoses or what is involved in replacing them.

I have a few questions... How much of a pain is this to fix? Do I have to pull the gas tank to replace all of the hoses? What type of hoses do I use? (looks like I will not be get at all of them if I use the type that needs a clamp)

Thanks for any info.

David Rose
