I'm looking for info. on how the fuel tank in the 2 WD Vanagons are
vented.  It seems to me as this may be an under lying problem in
witch we call the vanagon syndrom.  Currently have (2) 90-91 models
that sputter and stall, then will not run after 15-25 min. of driving.
After removing the fuel cap. runs fine.
