RE: Aux battery Since there is no redly available deep cycle battery that will fit many go with a Walmart Group 41 or Group 48 battery. Their warranty is great if the battery fails because of use that should have a deep cycle. As for the gas leak (and I probably don't have to say this) DON'T START THAT VAN UNTIL THE LEAK IS FIXED!! That plastic through the firewall fitting is notorious for breaking. There should be much of a leak with the ignition off, that line goes directly to the fuel pump. Fuel pump off should be no pressure. Metal replacements are available from vendors like Van Cafe < http://www.van-cafe.com/home/van/page_1130_286/fuel_line_firewall_adapter.html > Many eliminate that fitting, add a grommet to the hole and pass the fuel line through the hole. |
