Subject: new old member and rusty tanks
Well hello all. It has been about a year and a half since I last
subscribed to this list and I DID miss it. Last time I was living in my 82
Westy and going to school. Now I live and work in Berkeley and drive North
every weekend for a little camping. No commuting in the Vanagon, yuk, what
gas milage in town.
And what good news am I greeted with on my first day back? Rust on
the top of the tank. I noticed a bit of a gas smell when I buoght it about
4 years ago, but not very often. This summer it got bad enough that I
could see gas streaks down the side of the tank through the wheel well
(passenger side). I bought the filler tank grommet as well as two for the
expansion tank tubes. I was planning to drop the tank this weekend, but
now...
Did you know that there are three sizes for the filler grommet?
All of which occur in 82? Yuk again.
I will bore you all with details later as well as some tech
questions after i figure out the FAQ thing.
