The procedure shown is actually correct for some waterboxers so give
them just a little slack. The very first 83.5 waterboxers used the
diesel tank and diesel cap and that material in the manual may have been
carried forward from when it was the only variation of wbx tank/cap.
Lots of repair manuals cover such a wide range of years/models that it
is impractical to show every variation that comes along. The many
shortcomings of the Vanagon Bentley don't strike me as much different
than other manuals I have used. I wouldn't put absolute faith in any of
them.
