Hi Silvia,

Engine dies when wet is a sign of a hole in the fuel system; usually the
top of the fuel tank has rusted through or the plastic expansion tanks
in the wheel wells have cracked.

Also, it would seriously increase your chances of sales if you tell us
where you are located. There are a LOT of wet places in the world this
time of year.

Happy Trails,

April, but I would have to put in a lot of $$ to renew because there is
a hole in the tailpipe, and some kind of electrical short in the
undercarriage (the engine dies when the undercarriage gets wet).? The
seats are in extremely good condition, as is the dash board, so I
thought I might sell the van piece-by-piece.? Any takers?
