I was on a mission to make the beetle not smell like gas, after replacing the fuel tank sending unit I still had some odors. The internet told me to replace the cap. I ordered one from JBugs but it leaked from a malformed seal. I ordered another one from Wolfsburg West and it has a much better seal on my tank. Obviously your mileage may vary and it is cool that these companies even exist to offer us options on old bugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_8330-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_8330-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_8330-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_8330-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_8330-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_8330-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll notice the JBugs on the left is a higher profile and has the vents\/relieve cutouts.
