Filled up the ol' fuel tank on the 88 GL today - all the way to the top. Haven't done that in a while. Went in to pay, and looked back from inside the gas station and gasoline was pouring out all over underneath the van from what appeared to be about the middle from where I was standing. By the time I got back to the van, the flood had stopped but there was a puddle underneath. on the concrete. I pushed the van forward clear of the concrete, waited a little while - I could really smell the fumes. I fired her up and went home. Fortunately no fire. So now what? No doubt I've got vent, overflow, and other hose problems. Is there a website that describes how to attack this problem? I know the tank will have to be dropped. When it comes out, I want to be sure and address every single little issue that has to do with above that tank. Anybody got a complete list of parts to get the job done fully and completely, leaving no stone unturned?? All commentary will be appreciated greatly. Thanks, John Rodgers 88 GL Driver (Now parked UFN!) |
