or

search for gastankkit1

The other list vendors probably have similar packages. You might want to
check with them to make sure that what you order has the particular thing
you need, or they may have just that part as opposed to the kit.

It's always dangerous to be driving around venting gasoline vapors. It's
dangerous to be sitting around venting gas vapors, for that matter. Having
said that, I'd bet that most of these vans have or have had (by now) a
problem with leaks in this area whether the owner realized it or not. I
dunno what the likelihood of your having an incident is but it's obviously
not something you'd leave to chance. Perhaps you can seal the leak with some
appropriate goop until you can make the proper repair.

Good luck,
Robert
