The tank itself is probably fine. It's most likely the overflow hose inside the RF fender, just behind the filler pipe. It's a very common problem, but the OE replacement hose (311 201 179A) is NLA. You can probably fix it with some fuel hose of the right diameter, or plug it some other way. These all die eventually. ;-( -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
