Jetta TDI as Toad and daily Driver

[Dave Beatty]

Well I made a plunge into a 2000 Jetta TDI
5 speed manual (Turbo Diesel) to setup as
my Toad in place of the LandRover that was
costing me too much to keep running (that
is a different story).

See photo below at the dealer of my TOAD.

With the first tank of diesel consumed in my
2000 Jetta TDI, to my delight I got 45.6 MPG
and I was driving mostly in the city with AC
running. On the open road, I would expect
over 50 mpg since Volkswagen claims
30 city / 45 hiway. With my annual mileage
of 18000 I will be saving over $1700 per year
in Fuel cost over the cost of driving the
LandRover. I can definitely use the $$$ to
keep my Bird on the road as retirement days
approach.

My question to the Team is:

Is there a simple way to transfer around 10
gallons at a time from my 265 gallon Wanderlodge
to my Jetta ? This would allow me to buy diesel
when price is lower and help keep my Wanderlodge
Diesel in a fresher state.

Thanks for the help....
