Gas Tank Woes.

[dswalterwi at gmail.com (Don Walter)]

Mine is leaking just as described by the documents but it is a 1986 16V and
the serial number is before the 1987/88 ones that are covered.  It uses the
same gas tank why did they exclude the first 1/2 of 1986's.  I have to
submit a letter to VWoA with any documentation and they will review it.
