Hello Friends!

I am restoring a lovely 1980 Air Cooled Westy. Installing the new fuel tank and have a question.

As per arrow in the picture, what size grommet do I need for that specific hole? I believe the Fuel Vapor Tank Valve goes in there?

Thank you as always for the help.

Matt

Check Van Cafe for that, as they have all of the proper gasoline-rated grommets and donuts for that entire project.

I believe that's the overfill drain-back port from the fuel neck

top 3 grommets are all the same size (part#) and special. not a generic grommet.

you can get them from www.busdepot.com as well.
