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,
