I too recently replaced one of these, just after I got the vanagon =
running
I took it 2 blocks downtown to get the tires aired up. While I was on =
the third
tire I heard a LOUD pop, then the van quit and I smelled gasoline! I =
searched
under the van and found the end cap ( the clamp was nowhere to be found =
as it
had rusted to the point that it must have disintegrated) I noticed this
when was in the engine comp. but wasn't sure how much pressure was =
in
there. I took out my trusty needlenose vice grips and clamped the cap =
back on
and drove it back home. I called Fun Buggies in Grand Rapids and he had =
a brand
new one in stock...$27.95. Since Al only had one I called the local VW =
dealer
(shudder) and ordered a second "just in case" They wanted $33.00 , so I =
guess
that wasn't too bad of a markup, but they did have to order it! Took 3 =
days!
Glad I didn't need it right away. Tom
