Hi all, Just to tie this up. I bought a motorcycle jack today to make lowering the gas tank much easier. Also got a bore scope that plugs into an android phone. Using it I quickly determined that I was going to get anything done without dropping the tank. Dropped it out in the street in front of my condo. Totally uneasy about it, but no one said anything. Quickly found the problem was a plastic tee and that the barb for the smallest line coming out was nearly broken off and leaking. Tee has two 3/8 lines going into it and one 1/4. Only thing I could find that would work locally was another plastic tee meant for vaccum hoses - probably what was on there. Looked at 3 auto parts stores and 4 hardware stores. Ordered a brass tee off Amazon with the correct two 3/8 and one 1/4 barbed nipples. It won't arrive until Tuedays so going to check plumbing supply stores tomorrow to see if I can find one locally. Not such a big deal to drop the tank. Going to make our trip to the Indy 500 and see how it goes. Still undecided on keeping it with little ability to get things fixed. At least its not a #Van Life Sprinter. The Mercedes dealer close to me has a back lot of commercial and RV Sprinters waiting for service. I hear the parts are hard to come by and the DEF systems for the diesel engines have tons of problems. Had briefly thought about getting something like a Winnebago View, but then learned of the Sprinter platform problems and super long service times. Thought a good old 'Amurican' class C would be and answer to parts and service. Still better than the Sprinter at least. Thanks for everyone who chimed in. I now have found a total of 4 shops that will work on Class C's with two other possible that haven't responded back, sigh. Soonest appt between all the shops was 1.5 months out. I've changed out all the fluids and had the front end steering and suspension brought up to speed so perhaps I can get some miles out of it now. Thanks again all.
