Jason -

Then buy the separate items and feel good about saving money :)  We
vendors aren't out to gouge the Vanagon public, but it costs money to
develop the grommets, cross-over pipe, etc., and the additional

Here are the grommets:

Breathers on the fuel tank, 3 required:

Expansion Tank, 1 on each tank required:

Can't help you on living in Canada (especially with the Postal Lockout).
