is to replace the gravity vent valves

Thanks for the info, I'll have a look in ETKA for those (when I see my VW dealer again )

That's great, ta, Float valves, Part 1, about a £10 each ?

I think they are about that Clive - and you will want new ones if you are fiddling with any of the plumbing at all, they just snap of in yer hands it would seem Years of life probably making them brittle loike...

Didn't know that, you're responsible now for making me think seriously about getting that tank out

Try getting a tank out when someone has driven into your rear corner at 40-50mph and bent the chassis rail into it... needed quite some persuasion with a 3 tonne jack.

Clive leave it alone and drive the bloody thing unless it's haemorrhaging fuel. This is the only reason Sam's dropping his.

Float valves are:

P/N 251201311B

Price = £8.41 + VAT

You *may* need two, depending upon how ham-"interfered with" you are.

Everything else is out anyway, the tanks the last thing and there's a hole up behind there I can see, was going to let it go, but think I'll get it out and then that'll be it, start welding it all up and putting it back - been practising my welding on the Doka steps and sills.

Those rear cross-members were indeed full of silt after wading up in N. Herts. but not rusted through.

I thought the way ahead was rivets, plate and sealant, Clive?

What's happened to that approach?

Non-structural when I didn't have a MIG, what's done, done, I'm spotwelding up the Cleco holes, then seaming. Works well!

With sealant it's actually better than welding in some situations (very thin stuff)

Will we see it at CF this year Clive?

Only if you're psychic...

Come on clive at least trailer it there.
I am begining to think u have lost it(the van that is)

Hey! I'm outside at - 2 lying on Type 1 stones, you're in a workshop with a smooth floor and your tools within reach - no contest

Plus Donald Dokka's the priority at the moment - before that goes the same way

It is possible to remove it with engine in place no problems. To be honest, I don't see how removing the engine would have made it any easier.
Cheers,
Sam.
