Subject:Re: 2nd fuel fill on Wolfsburg Edition?

Some Dehler Profi conversions had a water fill in the passenger side door jamb and an underbelly water tank…. perhaps a home-grown attempt of the same.

As I mentioned previously, I’ve seen propane tanks which fit in the spare carrier on T2.5/T3s in Europe, but the fill was always on the drivers side in the same position as the passenger side petrol fill.
