Christopher, Welcome to the list! You're in good hands :) Well, if you can cut through the crazy :) The earlier Vanagons had a pre-pump filter instead of the post pump canister type filter. I can only assume your Vanagon is '86 or newer. I've had some tank crud/filter issues recently and received many responses from list members who have installed the pre '86 style pre-pump filter - and also kept their post pump filter as well. The stock pre-pump filters have a smaller diameter inlet that the outlet - so there may be some changing of hose size and adapting to do. (sorry I don't know the sizes off hand). Good luck and welcome again to the list.
