Guys -
I'm new to EV's and have been watching the engine fire posts since I
have an 81K mile 1993.
It is certainly a problem if there are only appox 10,000 of these 1993
(and those sold in 94) EV's and there are the number of fires reported.
It just seems like the ratio of fires/vehicles produced alone should be
a flag here...
Maybe those of you in vcontact with VW should email a link to the recent
copart.com EV burner pics..... as surely that was another one that went
up in flames because of the fuel lines.
Finally getting mine registered today :-) it passed emissions last night
- one of the workers was drooling all over it! Nice to see there are
fans besides us.

Ric, I am an original owner of a 93 EVGL with 117,000 miles. I have
been
checking my fuel lines lately because of these posts and the fact my
wife has
mentioned fuel smells. I have not seen sign of leaks and think the
fuel smell
was because of an improperly secured fuel cap from the previous fill
up.
I have found a burned 93 GL in a Greeley, CO junk yard. Serious fire
as only
the tail lights are much good. From the burn, I am sure it was an
engine
fire as the intake manifolds are completely melted!
If it would be helpful to you, I can try to read the VIN number.
