fuel tank

Hi. Trying to establish what size fuel tank I’ve got prior to virtual instrument cluster upgrade. Build sheet is silent on this. does anyone have access to ETKA if I PM my VIN please?

Drain (most) fuel out of tank easily? ... Just a bit of context. Our higher van come to us with absolutely no fuel in it at all. So we filled it up and used it. Now they want the van back, and it's full of fuel. so I want to ciphon my 85 quids worth of fuel back out and put it in my other...

Hey all, I've pulled out my fuel sender and it fell apart as I pulled it out. Can anyone confirm the guide pin with the spring is in the right place? It doesn't really want to stay together and the yellow top half doesn't sit square.

My fuel gauge is showing full and I suspect the float/sender is stuck. Can I access the sender from inside the van through an inspection hole or do I have to drop the tank? Thanks.

Hi every one i have a T6 2018 204 ,my drive has a slight slope when the fuel gets to quarter of a tank it will not start , i had it look at by main dealer how charged me £600 for investigation work and a fuel pressure sensor and fuel filter fitted , they commented it was an intermittent fault...

I ordered a new T6.1 and added the 80 ltr fuel tank option. I've got down to near zero a few times on the gauge with the dash saying 20 or so miles left. I've not been able to add more than 67 ltrs offuel. Queried with the dealer who confirmed the 80ltr tank was ordered. Its going in for them to...

Hi there, we're new owners of a 2018 T32 LWB Highline. In our old car (Volvo V50 Estate) we had a 'distance to empty' display as part of the on-board computer, which was really useful. The alert comes up when the fuel gauge reaches 'empty' and tells us how many miles we have left, but on our...

I've read a lot of useful information on the forum in preparation for a fuel tank removal, (to install brackets for RIB Neptune seats and diesel heater). One issue I have read about that worries me is people finding the fuel gauge doesn't work properly afterwards. Any tips on how to avoid this...

Hi, new to forum and planning a new T6.1 for a camper. I'm trying to find out if the 80l fuel tank sits lower than the 70l or if its a different shape. Basically how the extra 10l is incorporated. Tried searching but no joy, would be grateful for any links or pictures. Its due to needing an...

Hello - I'm new here, and hoping that someone can help me with some details I need for importing my T6 campervan conversion to France. It's a bit of a nightmare involving all sorts of certificates and inspections. I'm currently filling in a spreadsheet to calculate the load on each axle, and...

Have just re installed fuel tank after being off van for about 4 weeks (t6 150dsg) and flattened the battery trying to start it! Recharged the battery and after about 30 seconds cranking she fired up and seemed to run perfectly on the drive. Next day exactly the same, took about 30 seconds...

Hi my caravelle has had a bigger fuel tank fitted. I ran out of diesel last week AA man sorted it out but told me that when a bigger tank is fitted the sender unit is probably set up to the bigger tank thus giving a false reading. Does anybody know who can help in the South Yorkshire area...

Afternoon all, I am new to VW, and only 1 week in, so may seem like a daft question to some..... When I am coming to stop or just manoeuvring slowly, I can hear a swooshing noise, which I think is coming from the fuel tank. Is this normal? If so, I can learn to live with it, just want to...

Have just taken delivery of my T32 Kombi LWB 199, which is generally great, however there is a hissing noise from the region of the fuel tank. It starts on starting the engine and is audible from inside, loudest around the bench seat. Stepping outside it is much louder and appears to be coming...

I recently installed a Chinese Diesel heater under the floor under the drivers seat. I'm not a professional video maker but I did record it and posted it to YouTube Here is a link to the Fuel tank removal to install the fuel pick up line. Video=s to follow for heater installation.

Is there a fuel tank drain bung on a T6

I've dislodged the fuel vent pipe (if that's the correct name for the thin black pipe running back from the fuel filler to under the van). Assume this just takes fumes to under the van as the tank fills. Is refitting it a priority - I won't be smoking while refuelling.....

Finally got empty tank and want to drop to attach heater fuel line. Just about to loosen tank straps, but must i do anything special with adblue, or will inlet just wiggle past? Hoping so.

New years eve, tried to start her. Plenty of effort just wouldn’t kick in. Ended up calling VW Assistance. They turned up within two hours, anyway, the issue it ended up being the slope on my drive, it isn’t what I would call steep at all. The tank showed a quarter of a tank. I have never had an...

Nearly got caught out whilst towing caravan, MFD showed 5 miles range left ... pump knocked off at 79.87lt and manged a couple more litres when filling. Question is how accurate is the range remaining and any serious consequence or damage from running out apart from inconvenience! If it makes a...
