Hope this is in the right place.

I have ordered a new fuel system for Troopy as some previous genius seemed to think the best place for a fuel tank was under the bed inside him.

Now re-fitting an original system but how is the tank held in place as I can't seem to find any pictures or diagrams showing this.

Thanks in advance.

The tank is held in place with 2 metal brackets that hook into the crossmember behind the tank and bolt into the crossmember at the front. Have you still got the breather tanks under the front wheel arches ?

Yes, still got them in place

Had no idea what they were for though lol

Diagrams... VWs online exploded diagrams, called ETKA. Various dodgy sites host them. Googling ETKA online gives me this currently
