Gerry Skerbitz said that he acquired an '82 Westy diesel for his wife for mudder's day. Then I wept as I read he was going to give that diesel the boot in favour of a gas pot!! Those diesel Vanagon's are rare anyway, but to convert to gas just pushes the species closer to extinction......arggghhhh! What's the scoop, Gerry? Does the diesel motor exhaust bring out your allergies, or are you just frustrated with the turtle power of that little powerplant? Is the diesel on its last legs anyway? What would thrill me is to hear you were going to put in a turbo-diesel (as I have done) in order to give some dignity to diesel Vanagons. Am I fighting a losing battle?
