My supplier lists one tank from '80-85 and one from '85-up. The main difference was the fuel filler neck inlet, so either could probably be used if you also had the ancilliary parts from that tank. I have brand new aftermarket gas tanks for $199.95, in either version. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot http://www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW |
