Thanks TC.

Looks like I'm going to be getting a "drop-in" 1.6na diesel tomorrow. Just have to pick it up. That means, among other things, that this fill up on the FrankenJetta will be the last gasoline fill of her life. I'm going to start stripping out the engine as soon as I can, once I have the engine in hand. I will fill up to get the final mpg entry and then transfer the gas to my Pathfinder. I "think" I have all the components that I need and will make sure to leave room for the veggie tank. Maybe I can set the record for fastest diesel Jetta. What I'd really like is making the whole trip above 60mpg and as much veg as possible.
