Subject:      Trap door under the gas cap no longer closes.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi fellow Vanagon owners,

        The small trap door which closes when you remove the gas pump nozzle no
longer closes on my van.  I guess that the spring fell off or busted and is
in the tank now.  Anyway, It has been like this for a while, but it is now
time for me to get a smog test.  I have noticed that they remove and
visually inspect the fuel cap.  Will this missing/broken spring be a
problem for my CA smog test?  It looks to me like I will have to drop the
tank to fix this.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Vernon Craddock
