Beetle Fuel tank dipsticks

Pre ’55, the bods at Volkswagen saw no importance for an internal fuel gauge. They did, however, provide you with a ‘Gas tank dip stick’ in case you wanted to check for yourself. The guys at Karmann Konnection are stocking a good selection of Original and Repro dipsticks. Two varieties are available, as the tank changed in August ’55, so they’ll need to know if the car has an early tank or a late one (they have the date stamped on them, either up to 6.8.1955 or from 6.8.1955 onwards).

Who: Karmann Konnection
How Much: Blue anodised £25; other colours start at £47 including Vat.
