Il s’agit du réservoir de vapeurs de carburant GAUCHE (côté conducteur), situé dans le passage de roue avant. Il fait partie du système de récupération des vapeurs du réservoir principal et permet aux vapeurs de carburant de se condenser et de redevenir liquides, puis de s’écouler dans le réservoir, pour que votre petit moteur continue de ronronner sur la route un peu plus longtemps. Les réservoirs d’origine étaient très robustes et relativement peu sujets aux défaillances, mais après plus de trente ans de service, certains peuvent devenir fragiles et se fissurer, en particulier au niveau des raccords inférieurs où se fixe la conduite de carburant. Si vous refaites l’étanchéité de votre réservoir de carburant (2WD ou Syncro), c’est le bon moment pour installer des réservoirs de vapeurs et des clapets flotteurs neufs. Faites-le une fois, faites-le bien !

Compatibilité : Tous les modèles de 1980 à 1991, y compris Syncro

The vapor tank was an exact replacement. It came in a timely fashion and went in perfectly.

Vapor tanks?

Came quickly and I am procrastinating installing them. LOL Still in the box. High quality. This is always the way.
We need a "Go Westie" on Long Island!! I'm getting too old to be doing this stuff hahaha

Very good quality, however, the fit was difficult to get it to seat properly in the rear indent of the wheel arch. I found that using a heat gun on the fastener tab and angling it up helped tremendously in getting the tank to seat firmly.

Part I expected arrived when expected. A fifteen minute remove and replace, as one would expect. Should not have to deal with it again for another 37 years.

Good insurance

If you still have your original vapor tanks, replacing them with these is good insurance. That old plastic is very brittle. After failing the EVAP test twice, I found one of mine had a hole, and when I pushed on it, it crumbled. You don't want to have to deal with that on your next trip. Be sure to get new float valves and grommets too, because there's almost no chance you won't damage the originals when taking them out. Pro tip for installation, take a dremel tool and bore out the mounting hole just a bit toward the tank to make it fit easier over the stud.

Even if you don’t know you need new ones of these you probably do (RHS and LHS).

Drove my Vanagon from South Carolina to California. Around Oklahoma the van started losing power and I could hear the fuel pump calling out to me that It was unhappy. I limped it along to New Mexico where the next fuel pump was in stock. Driving and listening to the fuel pump growling all night it sounded like the pump was starving for fuel. Turns out I was right. When I went to change the pump and filter the old filter (that was replaced before the trip started) was clogged. I figured I got a bad tank of gas somewhere full of silt. I just changed the filter and kept the new pump with me if I needed it. With the new filter everything was fine. I was relating the story to my friend Max and he asked a strange question about if it happened to be raining on this trip. It so happened to be true. Turns out that my vapor tank was old and cracked and had a gaping hole on the top side out of sight. In the rain the water and road silt are thrown on top of and into the vapor tank where it makes its way into the fuel tank clogging the filter. The van was able to deal with the water as it trickled through the system, but the silt clogged the filter. I duct taped the hole in the vapor tank and have been waiting for these replacements to come available. These are nice replacements, and they should last for the rest of the life of the van. Glad to have them.
