I was wondering if the idle problem you have been having is related to the tank 
not holding pressure. Would that effect the fuel pressure if the tank is 
venting too much???

Yeah, I have been told to cut the old hose off of the plastic nipples. 
Don't try and pull the hose off because it'll break the plastic. 
A couple of things I'm having trouble with: 
1)  Getting the straps that hold the tank up off.  I took the bolts out, 
but the rears that fit through the slots are not coming out. 
2)  I unbolted the expansion tank, but I am having trouble dropping the 
expansion tanks down.  I guess the hose on the top part (where the 
sensor) is preventing it from dropping?  Might need to drop the tank first?
