[Vwdiesel] Fueling screw

[82 Diesel Westy]

Very funny story Terry, glad you did not have added
Pot smoke coming out of the car as you opened the
window to great the man......ha, aha,, just joking of
course.

that is a very important screw.

Do most of you just grind off the lock band that is on
the screw, keeping it from going in to far????

Just wondering, I think I could turn my fueling up a
bit but the band is keeping me from doing that?

Thanks, Bryan
