Kevin, you said:


<< I purchased my 1985 Vanagon a few months ago. I can get only 12-13
gallons when the fuel gauge gets past the bottom of the red mark.  After
reviewing the owners manual, it says it's an 18 gallon tank including
reserve.  Obviously I don't want to run it dry, so if you own an 85, can
you let me know how many gallons of fuel you take? >>


   According to the Bentley Manual, all 1990-1991 capacities are 16 US
gallons (including reserve), except for Syncro models which hold 18.5 US
gallons.  Reserve is a stated 2.5 gallons, and is supposedly reached
whenthe needle reaches the red area at the bottom of the guage.


   My fillups are generally just a hair over 12 gallons when the guage
has reached the red area.  Hope this helps.
