Greetings fellow Vanagonauts,

Last week after the "H" shaped piece next to the
coolant tank sprang a leak, several listees helped me
out and directed me to the GoWesty site, where a photo
was posted of the piece I needed! Since there was no
way it'd get here before I had to leave, I used some
of the new silicone self-curing tape on the split
plastic tube (where the geyser was originating from),
and hoped for the best.

A week later, and pulling several big hills, with an
exploratory run across about 50 miles of interesting
desert, for a total of about 700 miles since the
temporary fix, I have lost not one drop of coolant!
No, I don't own stock in the company, but I will keep
some of that silicone tape in my toolbox from now on.

I'm sure there are a lot of problems it won't fix, but
it's right up there with duct tape and baling wire in
my book!
