Hi Everyone. With all this talk about running out of gas, I would like to offer my way of avoiding such a situation. I just treat the fuel gauge readings at half full as quarter tank, and quarter tank as empty. Thus I make sure to fill up between half and quarter tank by the gauge. With a little training, you adapt to that situation with every vehicle you drive. I have yet to run out of fuel, and even with a Syncro's small tank I do just fine. It just means that on long trips I fill up twice a day, but at least I don't run out of fuel. Just my $.02 worth. Harry. ------------------------------------------------------- Harry yates Internet: hyates@bcit.bc.ca '90 Syncro Westfalia Burnaby, BC '87 Golf Diesel
