Review on Spectra Premium VW3A Volkswagen Vanagon by Donotello Figueroa

has worked well for 2 years. Then, after refueling, a large puddle of gasoline formed under the tank. Thinking it was leaking due to a broken pipe or hose I removed the tank and checked everything, there were no visible problems but I replaced the hoses and gaskets to be sure. After doing this 3 hour job again and refilling it leaked again!. Searching the web I found that this tank has a manufacturing defect, the edges of the hole for the fuel level sensor are burred and very sharp causing the plastic part of the fuel sensor to be cut off and not having enough pressure for the o-ring to make a good seal. So now I have to replace the transmitter, somehow remove the burrs (how do you do that without dumping sawdust in the tank?) and do the same job a third time. Already wasted 9 hours! Avoid this tank if you can't remove the burrs.
