Beautiful van. I did this job recently. I pushed the breather hoses on after tank install. You can reach through wheel arches to do it. Granted it's blind but you can feel your way to locate the grommets and push them home. It's much less of a kerfuffle to get the tank back in this way.
Evap tanks are prone to cracking due to stone hits. Also the area surrounding them are prone to rust from all the rubbish thrown up from the wheels. Hope you have a set of wheel arch liners on order.
Don't feel too bad. I had a mechanic do this job and they really messed it up. I think they did the same thing or perhaps worse... and pushed it up in there so it leaked...plus they missed other problems. It's sad when you pay a lot of $$$ and then basically get ripped off. (no refund from that outfit) They won the battle but lost the war. On another note: think how far you've come with this thing!

Thanks a lot! I’m in the middle of fuel system rebuilt and your videos is very helpful 👍
Let me know if you have any other questions sorry I didn't do a full video.

Gorgeous ride - I need some summer highway tires for mine. Which ones are you sitting on?
Thank you thank you I wish I could remember... I ended up selling it during the second year of the pandemic. Enjoy your ride.
Good work doing this, by the way...!

So, so true. I'm still planning one more tune and one possible surprise.
