Hi

Just got a beetle 1300 a 1972, can i run this on unleaded

Can anyone help

Thanks

https://www.latebug.com/forums/  they are more geared up for post 67 Beetles.

Having said that, I also have a 1972 Beetle and I use unleaded in it with out using additives and it seems fine. I think as a general rule, any VW built after 1967 should be ok to run with unleaded, but there is a lot of disagreement on this subject so you will probably get a lot of conflicting advice...

Hope that helps

Mike

From the famous Gene Berg Quote:

ALL" factory VW air cooled heads from 1967 and later with the hard chromed stem valves can run unleaded fuels just the way they come from the factory. "ALL" VW heads have steel intake seats, hardened steel alloy exhaust seats, brass guides and tri-metal exhaust valves which have hard chromed stems.
