I actually got a fuel tank from Amazon* of all places.  I was in a hurry to
get it done and they had the same one that Van Cafe sells.  I'm an Amazon
Prime member so it was two-day free shipping, couldn't pass it up.  I went
with the later-model larger outlet and it solved my buzzing fuel pump
problem for good.  Works perfectly.


*I buy 99% of my parts from the Vanagon vendors and have paid them
thousands of dollars over the years, so I don't harbor any guilt for going
off of the reservation on occasion.
