Just bought a 76' westi that was sitting for over 8 years. Looking for someone in the Delaware area to go over the motor. I'm going to pull the engine so that I can drain the tank after sitting for over 8 yrs with about half a tank of gas.
I am open for any suggestions as to help. |

Hi
You can get the gas tank out without pulling the engine.
Look under (General Service/Repair) for a shop near you.

You can, but it's a PITA. If you pull the motor to remove the tank, you can spend a little time cleaning everything up, fix any leaks, replace engine seals and generally get to know your bus a little better.

And nobody caught that typo either? 
I thought it may have been a "stretch" bus..... |
