Hey Journey, from what I've heard it sounds like the tank might need to be removed and flushed. Not an easy task without first dropping the engine because the tank resides behind the firewall. If you drop the engine it's a good time to open up the firewall and address the fuel tank, along with the hoses on the vent lines and the fuel filler neck. Also a good time to replace your fuel sender on top of the tank.

Also I heard you don't have a gas cap, I just had a real nice original Blau cap for sale but someone already got it. However I do still have an aftermarket locking gas cap, it's not pretty but it would be better than nothing, or better than a ball of aluminum foil which I think might be worse than nothing!

You are welcome to the aftermarket gas cap then. Also if you want to learn then this site will be your new best friend: http://www.ratwell.com/

Nobody's compiled more articles and information on bay window buses than Ratwell.

Take it to the Godfather he loves buses,and I think he ran outta bus be gone. :lol:

Don't worry, your in the right place.  We might pick on each other a little from time to time . . . OK, why lie, we DO pick on each other a LOT, ALL the time, but it's all in fun.  We are all friends here.

I think the Godfather (a.ka. David, a.ka. RetBugtech) used to keep a can or two of Bus-Be-Gone on the shelf next to his wasp spray.  He's been working on VWs longer than a lot of us have been around.  He has a special love for Bugs . . . But I sometimes get the feeling that he might not be quite as fond of a fuel injected, type 4 powered Bay Window Bus as he is an old Beetle.   :lol:

And yes, he checks this forum.  I'm sure he'll chime in here soon . . .  :lol:

I am eager to look at your bus and do what I can to get it on the road.

My only problem right now is time and money.  I am in the process of moving to a new place (can you say, "Out in the sticks"?) and right now I can't even afford to put gas in my bus

This weekend is not good either, for I am supposed to go camping (hahaha, good luck with that), but soon...soon, I want to "diagnose" your bus.

Type IV?  Ain't skeered.

Oh, He's awesome too . No pretty chrome or dual carburetors for my bug but at least she won't blow up. :rr:  he he he

I'll come down with Travis too if that's ok. Just let me know when.
