This whole conversation has been sort of vague. Tire pressure tag is on the door pillar or gas fill lid on the last 3 water cooled VWs I owned. I guess it was in the owners manual for the air cooled VWs but I cannot recall. I do not have any air cooled VWs to look at either.
1.8L engine. Well some folks could have a 1.8L in a 1952 VW if they did some hot rodding. Older is not a very definitive term. Kind of like a tank of fuel. My car manual says it holds 14.5 gallons US but I often pump 16 gallons in. Capacity should not be vague. It sure was not in the mid sixties VW fuel tanks.
