I have a gas guage ,but it's at Bobs house , I bought
a brand new gas tank and brand new VDO sender and hope
to install it when I get my truck back from the body
shop , I'll get a new gauge to make sure it works,  .I
guess one of the best times that I ran out of gas was
coming back from Eureka with Katrina and Dan and we
were looking into the I of the hurricane and I ran out
of gas . Thank goodness for the tank in the treasure
chest. .I guess the best things is that when you have
a problem in a bus it's an adventure that we pass
around to our freinds , if the same thing would of
happened in outr domestic truck we would still be
cussing ourselves . I think that's what is so kool
about this whole VW deal . If it was easy everybody
would be doing it.
