Hi all...

On a 2WD Vanagon the fuel tank is in the front. When the tank is full it
compensates for the weight of the engine in the rear...

On a 4WD/Syncro Vanagon the fuel tank is in the back. When the tank is full
it puts more weight in the rear.

Does anyone know how the engineers back then figured it out and then
adjusted this difference?

thanks

dan
