Subject:Vanagon fuel requirement
From:David-M

I just read my water-cooled Vanagon owners manual and there is a quite
lengthy section on fuel requirements.
Do I understand correctly that 87 octane fuel is correct for this
vehicle?
Also, the manual goes to great length to talk about gasoline additives
and says that some brands are better than others in this respect, but of
course mentions no particuler brand.
Apparently the important factors are protection against carbon build-up
on intake valves, and keeping the fuel injectors clean.
Has anyone researched this subject and come up with the best brand of
gasoline for the Vanagon?
