If you been following my thread I'm having a similar problem though mine is
happening up at the filler neck area. If all goes well I'll be dropping the
tank this Wed and replacing all the gaskets, etc, and putting in a "floaty
ball" filler tube that does a better job of stopping the gas from traveling
back up the tube.

I did a search on YouTube for videos on replacing the gas tank and sadly the
only one there is one of mine, hahhahhaa.  The one I did when I replaced the
coolant lines.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaMnLFA-USQ

I will probably film it again in more detail this Wed when I take it out.

Thanks,
Bryan

Every time I fill up my 85 Vanagon, a relatively large amount of fuel
leaks out. As best I tell not having gotten under the van, the leak
appears to be at the conjunction of the filler tube and gas tank.

What's the best way to repair?
