I seem to be having some problems with the gas gauge in my '85 Westy. After filling up, I get about 160 miles before I am at about 1/8 of a tank. When I fill up the next time, I can only fit about 11 gallons in the tank. As I recall, the tank in my Westy is a bit over 14 gallons, so this doesn't quite add up... What type of range should I expect with a stock 1.9L in a lightly loaded '85 Westy? I thought about just driving her until she runs out of gas to see how far I can get on a tank, but I can't imagine the fuel pump would be too fond of that little experiment... Thanks in advance, Jay Brown '72 Hardtop Camper '85 Vanagon Westfalia http://www.geocities.com/vwcamper72 |
