Fuel supply
Before reinstalling the battery, clean all
terminals and connections. Remove corro-
sion. Put the battery in its stowage posi-
tion and tighten the clamp firmly. Recon-
nect the positive cable first, then the
ground strap and the center wire (elec-
trolyte level sensor for diagnosis). Grease
the terminals and battery post well with
silicone spray or petroleum jelly. Keep the
ground connection tight and free of corro-
sion.
Never start or let the engine run in an en-
closed unventilated area. Exhaust fumes
from the engine contain carbon monoxide
which is colorless and odorless. Carbon
monoxide, however, is a very harmful gas,
and can be fatal if inhaled.
When working on the battery, be sure not
to short circuit the terminals. This would
cause the battery to heat up very quickly,
which could lead to damage.
The Auxiliary Heater (optional equipment)
must be turned off when filling the fuel
tank. The engine requires “Regular” gasoline
with a minimum octane rating of 91 (RON).
In the interest of cleaner air, the VW en-
gine is designed to run also on low-lead or
lead-free gasoline. If regular fuels with
adequate anti-knock qualities are not
available, premium fuels should be used
or mixed with the regular fuel.
When traveling outside the United States
or Canada, regular gasolines may have a
considerably lower octane rating. There-
fore, make sure the gasoline that you are
using does not have an octane rating
lower than 91.
Before having a quick-charge performed
on a battery installed in a car, disconnect
both terminals to avoid serious damage to
the electronic components of the electri-
cal equipment.
If you have not used your car for an ex-
tended period of time, you may need to
have the battery recharged.
The fuel tank has a capacity of 15.9 US
gallons (60 liters or 13.2 Imp. gal.).
The flap for the filler neck is located above
the right rear wheel.
