I cut it to fit nicely around my captain's chair bases. It is pretty easy to remove and clean. It also works well at keeping spills from getting into the seams of my wood laminate floor.
I am going to power wash my older one and cut it to fit around the drivers seat and doghouse.
Also Bought some electrical goodies for the plan to move my Solar charge controller closer to the batteries, over thicker cabling. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,256 Likes: 164 Master Metal Sculptor | Master Metal Sculptor Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,256 Likes: 164 | I dropped the tank (AGAIN) and put in a new sending unit (AGAIN).....still having issues!!!!!!!

Its not too bad....empty the tank...disconnect the filler hose and overflow hose, disconnect the fuel line and the hose to the rollover valve....loosen the two bolts on the straps and drop it out!!! Just frustrated because I have an issue I can't track down yet that even with the new unit it still reads empty. You have two tanks? | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Feb 2012 Posts: 271 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Feb 2012 Posts: 271 | Just went out and opened all the windows to air the stink of the previous owner out. Sprayed vanilla Febreeze everywhere. Finished packing the shower turned closet with important belongings I want to take with me when the sheriff finally comes to kick me out of my house. Currently contemplating whether I'm going to undertake doing an oil change and looking for someplace that can repair/ replace the screen I had to bust the other day when I locked myself out of the darned thing. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 590 addict | addict Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 590 | Made some progress removing the 3M undercoating (asphalt based) i used in my drivers side rear wheel well...That stuffs a mess! I used a ton of wd40, a putty knife and a pressure washer, its 90% gone now..Im almost ready to do the POR treatment.
Pulled the codes and everything checked out ok but the fuel pump is still on the way out. Gonna change that in a few days.
