eric et al:  the gas gauge on my '82 vanagon drops to half full and
stays there until i fill-up again, when it returns to full and we start
over again.  unfortunately, i ran out of gas the first time this
happened (and now use the trip meter to keep track of fuel needs).
anyway, fillups don't resolve this, and i'm not sure what will so just
living with it for now.  cheers...
