What is this tank?

Post by LewB »

Hi all,

Sorry if this isn't in the correct place.

Firstly I've got a 1982 LHD Westy Joker

I've been stripping my van down (with a lot of external help), we've got all the interior, the engine and most of the rot cut out.
However, there's a tank under the drivers side door and We're not sure what it is, can anyone tell me?

Fuel expansion tank - should be one on the other side. Have a look in the Wiki; I think there's some better pictures in there...

Thanks I'll have another read, must have missed it the first time.

I've not got one on the other side but my van has had a few extra bit and a few missing bits as we've gone along.

Just had a read of that,

Thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction. Glad I found this before removing the fuel tank next weekend

No, it's my drive. Still haven't decided what I'm going to do with it.
