At some point, every 2WD Vanagon will need to have the fuel tank re-sealed. If you are smelling gas after a fill-up or even see gas dripping on the ground, it's time for a tank re-seal! Luckily, this is something that the average backyard mechanic can easily fix. Installation instructions NOT included.

Our kit includes:
• Balance Tube 
• Main Filler Neck Seal
• Transfer Tube Grommets
• O-Ring for Fuel Sender
• Smooth German Fuel Line
• Stainless Ear Clamps (requires pincer pliers for installation)
• (4) Tank Strap Pads

Note: Vapor Tank Grommets and Float Valves not included in this kit (please see "Additional Info" tab for our reasoning).

Other parts to replace at the same time:
Fuel Level Sending Unit
Hard Plastic Fuel Line Replacement Kit
Fuel Hose Replacement Kit

Fitment

Compare your filler neck with the image above, then use the drop down list to order the correct kit. REGARDLESS OF THE YEAR OF YOUR VEHICLE, PLEASE CHECK TO ENSURE WHICH TYPE OF FILLER NECK YOU HAVE.

Kit 139: 80-83 Vanagon - typically aircooled & diesel models with STEEL filler neck.
Kit 139A: 83-91 Vanagon watercooled with PLASTIC filler neck. *

* On install, be sure the filler neck grommet included is in place by feeling around the seal. You may feel a bump or small distortion meaning the grommet is not seated properly and needs adjusting.

Additional Info

All vehicles made after or around 1974 have a fuel vapor control system. Before these systems were required, fuel tanks on vehicles were just allowed to vent raw fuel vapor into the atmosphere, which aggravated the smog problem. In the 70s, all filling stations in California—and then most in the rest of the country—were required to have those clumsy rubber boots added to the filling station pump handles. Those boots and the vapor control systems on all vehicles drastically reduced the raw gasoline that would usually just evaporate into the air.

Starting in 2008 in California (and undoubtedly coming soon to other states as well), a new law now requires that the fuel tank vapor control system pass a pressure test as part of the regular smog test. This kit contains all the parts needed to re-seal the part of the vapor control system on the fuel tank of your Vanagon. There are other parts of the system that may need service, like the vapor tanks, check valves, control valve, and charcoal canister—all of which GoWesty is familiar with and keeps in stock. But our experience is that the parts in this kit are all that is needed 90% of the time. Get ahead of the game! Be prepared!

To learn more, please read our detailed article on the problem in the GoWesty Library located here.


GoWesty does not include the grommets or vapor control float valves at the top of the vapor tanks for the following reasons:

1) These are located at the top of the vapor tanks and are not subject to coming in contact with liquid fuel, just fuel vapor, therefore it really has nothing to do with the common 2WD fuel leaking issue for which this kit is designed to address.

2) The vent valve is made from a material that gets very brittle over time, making it almost impossible to remove either the hose from it, or it from the grommet and vapor tank without destroying the valve, so it is better left alone.

3) In order to get to these items, one has to remove the vapor tanks—which is an entirely separate job from re-sealing the fuel tank, and can be done at any time as a separate project, if/as needed so there is no duplication of effort.

4) The two hoses that connect at the bottom of the vapor tanks are subject to liquid fuel, and should be replaced, these are included in our kit as is everything else that is typically needed to fix the fuel leak issue in a 2WD Vanagon.

5) These two hoses can be replaced without removing the tanks. If you are having this kit installed professionally, the time and money saved by not removing the tanks/valves can be considerably high.

6) The tanks rarely go bad because, unlike the material that the valves are made of, the material the tanks are made of is much tougher.

My dogs favorite toy EVER
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I have a Belgian Malinois who loves any and every toy, but this one is definitely her favorite. She will walk around the house constantly carrying it in her mouth, which is honestly adorable to watch. The squeakers only lasted a couple of months, but I don’t really consider that a downside—I’m kind of grateful they didn’t last forever given how much she plays with it. It still remains one of her most-loved toys even without them. My only word of caution is that if you work from home, this toy makes a lot of crinkling noise. And I mean A LOT. It’s great for keeping the dog entertained, but it can definitely get a little frustrating for humans trying to focus or take calls. Overall, it’s been a big hit in our house and easily one of her favorite toys.

Super cute
Color: Bunny (Mauve), Size: Small
Super cute and fuzzy. Definitely perfect size for a puppy and not too loud. The fur is very soft and the nose is sown on not a hard piece that can be chewed on. Very good quality too.

Normally amazing
Color: Spiky Ball (Blue, Orange), Size: Medium
We have purchased these slightly spiky dog balls several times for our very strong jaw heavy chewer dogs and they’ve been amazing. They don’t break down they don’t get torn apart the squeakers don’t even pop out of them. So we ordered another package because we’ve lost a few outside to the lawnmower… oops and the package that got delivered today had only one ball that squeaks and the other does not. THIS IS A PROBLEM ! Unfortunately my female dog got to the new squeaking ball first and my male got to the non-squeaking ball and he was NOT happy. Basically once they claim a ball it’s theirs and the other dogs don’t go near the ball they claimed. So he’s following my female around and every time she squeaks the ball and I’m just waiting for him to attempt to take it from her causing damage to her. Normally… These are amazingly fun, tough, durable but also squeaking balls (that’s rare in a tough ball) that my dogs absolutely love. This time just got a bad batch I guess. When they squeak the dogs LOVE them. After several months of play the squeaker might break inside of the ball but the ball never comes apart or gets damaged. And we as the owners love that they don’t break down are not able to be ripped or torn even by our very strong jawed and big jaw muscle dogs. They are also great for in the house play because they’re small enough that they fit completely inside our dog‘s mouth but obviously not small enough to get swallowed so when we throw them in the house for fetch the dogs can jump up and catch them fully in their mouth so they don’t cause any damage to the walls when they hit the walls. They’re not super heavy but they’re incredibly durable. Definitely worth the price especially if you have heavy chewers or big jaw muscle dogs.

Best fun indestructible toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Yellow), Size: Large
Truly indestructible no matter how much our oittie tries. She has owned it for three months works at destroying every day with no success. She carries it everywhere. Best purchase for chewer, more fun than the popular rubber heavy duty toy. Do not hesitate your pup will thank you for this fun distraction.

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large, Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large
High quality, big toy, perfect for a medium to large size dog. After a few months of serious chewing I had to buy another one, but well worth the money! Rocky loves it.
