On a stock '85 (like mine) that's where the fuel filter goes. This is a small square plastic filter with different sized inlets and outlets. Putting one of these in will fix your leak. Later vans (I think '86 onward) use a larger metal canister filter *after* the fuel pump... Either your van has been retrofitted to the later style filter, or you have no filter at all. Tim
