Subject:84 Intro, propane, airflow sensor harness
From:Chris Braymen

Hello,
I'm a new owner of an '84 Westfalia.  I've found this list and
the archives to be of tremendous value as I learn more
about "Buttercup".  I have a couple of questions for your collective
knowledge...

1) How do I tell how full the propane tank is?  How long does a
   "fill-up" usually last..say if you let the fridge run and cook
   3 times a day?

2) I'm having some problems with intermittant engine cut-out/stalling, 
   and I'm thinking about trying some of the "airflow sensor harness" fixes
   mentioned in the archives.  There are two fixes mentioned: a) the
   $100 VW harness "insert" fix, and b) the "capacitor across wires 
   2 & 4" fix.  Are these identical fixes?  I mean, is the $100 VW
   part really just a cap across wires 2 & 4?  Since the FAQ mentions
   that the VW part does not have end to end continutity on wire 2 and the
   "cap fix" does have continuity I'm assuming these fixes do different 
   things.  Anyone have experience with this?

   Joel...I'm no longer a Lurking Grue.  You can add me to the stats!
