The pump is hard to get into place right, so I'd do that first. That way you would have access from both the top and the bottom. You can plumb the lines to the tunnel first and then attach the lines to the tank after you install the tank. Take care with all the hose routings. Avoid sharp bends and make sure there is no tendency to kink. Get all this worked out before you install the tank. One more thing: If you use the worm gear hose clamps, DON'T overtighten them. They just have to be slightly snug. Overtightening is hard on the hose and is actually more likely to make them leak. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
