Helmut,

Any idea how the filler to the aux tanks is routed? I looked
at the www site but didn't see any pics of the Vanagon installation.

To me it seems like you have to cut the rear or front transverse frame
member in order to have no "dips" in the filler neck.

(For those skilled in working with composites: You can buy epoxy
resins certified for Diesel fuel tanks and build your own tanks.
This is sometimes done in boats)

Thanks,
Martin
