They are the same tank under different names. Klokkerholm is a Danish
company but not everything they sell is Danish made. I've seen various
listed countries of origin on this particular tank but in reality it's
almost certainly Taiwan. We have them in stock under the Klokkerholm name
for less than either GW or VC charge - $151-160 including your Vanagon List
discount. (And no sales tax outside of PA.) Please note that there are three
different Vanagon tanks (not including Syncro). Sometimes tanks get swapped
over the years (more commonly newer tanks on older vans) so it's good to
ascertain which you need before ordering. Click on the details of each for
info on how to identify them:
