Volks,
My first prototype auxiliary fuel tank is assembled, made from 3mm
aluminium, 8mm output and inputs, undecided filler opening, 8mm vent /
overflow attachment, provision for a VDO fuel level sender... coming along
nice!  However, I need some suggestions for a filler neck, filler cap system
that would work with the larger Diesel pump nozzles and not take a lot of
fancy work or money to install in the Vanagon.  Basically I want to cut a
hole in the body, fasten it that hole and run pipe to the tank along with a
2nd pipe for the vent.  The 2WD setup requires some fancy notches in the
body work.  This neck / cap assembly has to be available new and fairly
inexpensive as if I do decide to put this tank into production, I want to be
able to use all new parts.  I am thinking of, for my Syncro, installing the
filler opening where the 2WD filler is, on 2WDs I am not sure... it will be
a long pipe run to make it go where the Syncro filler is, can't put it where
the DoKa Syncro is because if you open the sliding door during fill up it
won't be pretty.  On the environment front, is there any resources to see
what it would take to make a setup like the EPA / CARB compliant?

Tanks in advance! :-)
