- We're going for it! It's time for Dweezil to point towards the coast and go for broke. Pun intended.
Our #VDubRun21 goal was to drive to the coast and back before the end of 2021... we didn't quite make it but we're trying today. Will we make it there? Will we make it back? Watch the video to find out!

WAY to GO DWEEZIL 👍🏻💯💪🏼 GREAT JOB.😁 I love this Channel 😎 Thanks for Sharing!
Thanks Leonard, Dweezil doesn't even seem to mind waiting for so long. He's here for it! Happy to share, thanks for being a part of the journey.
Vacuum...lots of us would miss that and suspect the pump. Glad you showed how simple that Law is... Vacuum in a vessel means there will be no flow out ou vessel...tanks need a vent. Nice learning lesson. Love the LOOP and the Beach.
Great science law Cathy and Greg...I really appreciate those concise bits of natural wisdom that are so widely applicable. And I agree, the Loop is a great route and I'll never get tired of that section of A1A. Thanks for watching!
Nice trip there! I'm not much of a beach guy because I despise hot weather, but at the time of the day you were driving when it's a little fresher, the drive looked really fun and relaxing, and I'd be up.to that no questions asked.
Good job on diagnosing that fuel issue. And I'm looking forward to get a set of those hose clamps for my bus, as they are better at clamping, less aggresive towards the hose material and waaay better looking than those dreaded classic clamps that have slots in them
Thanks VochoTalacha, I'm not much of a beach guy either but I really like it as a destination. Also enjoy camping at the beach- the seabreeze softens the heat and the sound of the waves is nice.
It's funny- I created that problem with the fuel pump by not properly venting the tank. Oops. Thankfully the problem revealed itself and didn't become a long process. And you're right, those fuel injection style clamps are the way to go. I buy extra and carry spares!
Always great to hear from you and I hope all is well for you and yours!
Great job Brent first time viewer...love your bug...what an epic journey to get to this milestone...Bugs are just so much fun. Your placement of a starter button at the rear is genius, never seen that trick hope you dont mind if I borrow it...lol I'm building a 70 baha for my daughter....thanks for sharing...
Thanks Daniel and welcome to the channel. Agreed- bugs are great! Glad to hear you picked up an idea for your daughter's baha, what an awesome project. Good luck with it and let us know how it goes!
Great drive, Dweezil is looking good ! Accomplished your first stage now on on to the next .
Thanks Livin the life! Next stage, daily driver!
Great little road trip..Dweezlil did great!
Thanks Rob!
Great views, good save on the fuel problem.
Thanks John, yeah it's a pretty drive. Can't get enough of that route and section of A1A. The fuel issue revealed my mistake- I had not properly vented the fuel tank. I don't know what's more fun- driving these things or the learning process. Thanks for watching!
Success! Congratulations Brent.
Thanks Vintage Speed VW!
Dweezil is one Bad VDub!!!
Thanks Stephen- and a lot of fun too!
Congrats, it rides sooo nice.
Thanks Levi, it was great hanging out with y'all this weekend!
Nice. Congratulations.
Thanks Tom!
Nice to see you mad it. Great job .
Thanks James!
Great that Dweezil made the trip! The smile says it all!👍😁
Thanks Nutt Farm, that was a cool moment. Thanks for being here for it!
So proud of you, what an amazing accomplishment! Overcoming adversity and all 👍😎
Thanks Gary, it's all part of it. Every challenge is a growth opportunity. Great troubleshooting on that brake issue yesterday, glad to see you got it resolved and made it to the show! Looking forward to the next VW weekend where we can do it all again!
well done brent, not much many would found that issue about pulling the tank vacuum.
dweezle did great on that trip and got safe back home.
great video Brent.
Thanks VW Beetle Oval 1955, I was glad to be back on the road but the troubleshooting was part of the learning process about proper fuel tank venting. Thanks for always being here!
I think you are ready for an engine refresh. Oil pressure is low low low. Check rear high pressure valve spring and plunger for wear.
Hey 1fastbuggy, I agree it's crazy low; this engine has some really tired parts. There's a backstory here ( ua-cam.com/video/OmOYfAbX7Kc/v-deo.html ), but suffice it to say that a fresh build is in the plans. Thanks for watching!
Great video Brent, Dweezil obviously enjoyed stretching his legs! Love your ability to diagnose fixes when things aren’t working well.
I’m touring New Zealand at the moment and loved watching the video.
Oh wow, I bet you are seeing some beautiful sights on your tour. Enjoy the trip and thanks for making time for us!
nice one Brent. This video put a smile on my face! Great end to your #VDubRun21
Thanks Annie, now if I could only build an engine as nice as yours!
Awesome. 1 goal off the list. Just curious where your vacuum Guage is attached? Maybe need to hook it up to your gas tank.lol. ✌️
Thanks Christopher, that's funny- I think at one point it would have measured a perfect vacuum if it were connected to the tank... I have it routed to the intake manifold as per the usual for a vacuum gauge. The Vacuum advance on the distributor is to ported vacuum off the side of the carburetor.
👍👍
Thanks Torkwerks!
So cool, that is a big milestone. What information do you gain from the vacuum gauge?
Thanks guys! A vacuum gauge reveals a lot of diagnostic and efficiency information for a person who knows what to look for. I'd give a detailed answer but I'm still learning myself- search "Reading a Vacuum Gauge" and be ready for awesomeness! I like to watch mine for possible engine issues but also to watch how hard I'm running the engine. A heavier foot results in lower vacuum levels, more fuel consumption, and more heat. There's a lot more to it than that which is what makes having one in the dash so interesting to me!
Congrats Brent. Are those stickers purchasable?
I should really get that figured out. I've enjoyed handing them out in person but will look into scaling up. Thanks for the question!
At one point in the video you showed a hole in a vacuum cover on the inlet tube to the fuel tank. I thought that was supposed to be an overflow drain that extended around the tank to drain out the driver's side underneath the car. could that be where you were getting the vacuum from? seems to me that the fuel cap was doing it's job. Just curious. I could be wrong.
Actually it was in the previous 'Gas Leak' video in the beginning where you showed the inlet fuel lines to the tank.
Correct! Good eye Mofoco 1432, I did a little reading after the vacuum issue and felt a little silly for creating that problem. VW used a few different approaches to this over the years with later models involving charcoal filters and even lines to the rear of the car for engine vacuum. I leaning towards a single line that has a high point under the cowl, goes across the car, and then down to an exit hole in the body on the driver's side (as you mentioned). Right now I have a temporary solution using a short tube exiting above the filler so Dweezil stays on the road but am anxious to put a permanent arrangement into place. Great to hear from always, I hope you and your boys are doing well!
@@HapticGarage That's right. They did use several methods over the years. I have no idea if it was done on certain year models or if it was for certain areas of the world. You know California has different laws and everything. My '70 sedan has the small fuel line that was routed just as you say uphill around the cowl. That way no actual fuel runs out only fumes. I have had been in a couple arguments about that vent line. My final statement in the arguments was that I have spent 40+ years driving a VW, looking at parts in magazines and online, and going to car shows I think I would know if it were supposed to be there. Now, usually I'm way more humble about my knowledge but this guy was getting on my nerves and had barely owned a Beetle for 6 months and thought he knew everything. So, when I saw your suction cap on that tee I thought it looked funny but also thought you knew better than me. I wasn't able to reply properly because at work the security turns off the comments. Ugh! Replying on my phone is not very practical. Needless, to say I was excited to be able to have the solution to your problem but was unable to answer quick enough.
Anyway, my boys and I are doing great. Currently, we are waiting for the body and body parts to get sandblasted. The guy that will do it blasts outside only. The weather and the media type plays a big part in when he can get it in line. When he does that, I will get it back and rust treat everything before I begin the body work. There isn't a whole lot to do for the body but I'm new at that of course so it's quite daunting at this point. We are excited nonetheless. I've typed enough for now. I do hope to see you at a show in Fla. or Ga. sometime. We aren't too far away to get to Fla. we're just in Macon, Ga. Thanks as always for your videos. You are a true blessing to us! Thanks for listening.
@@flat4ification Thanks Mofoco1432, I hope to see you at a show too. I may brave the heat this summer if a show is really enticing, but the next best bet would be Bug Jam in November. Regarding different methods and regulations, it feels like the simplest design reflects the designer's preferences and the complex design integrates the regulators assertions. The single line over the cowl seems better today than it did yesterday!
As a retired air cooled VW mechanic I have not seen your videos before but I am curious as to why there was any doubt a VW would go 200 miles. I’ve had many and found with regular maintenance they are nearly trouble free . Just curious and wish you many happy miles 👍😄🎩
Hey Jon, I'm glad you found us! If we were in a room together I think we'd get along famously. I totally agree that a VW is reliable; it was a well-earned selling point in their day. Today's VWs have seen some miles but the design is no less reliable than when they were new, provided their steward is capable. That's where things can fall apart- as a novice I understand that it's up to me, and when I'm troubleshooting I'm looking for what I missed. Settled for the wrong part, skipped maintenance, or as happened in this video, I failed to properly vent the fuel tank. That's OK, I like the learning process and there's a lot of lessons that may come up in 200 miles. Thanks for watching!
did you get a vented gas-cap? liked & sub'd
Thanks Hatchet Harry and welcome to the channel! I did some reading about the stock venting systems and think I've settled on a method that runs a vent line over the dash and to an outlet on the driver's side. Some of the venting schemes get complex but this seems it will be effective and relatively simple. On a side note, a vented cap works great on my old motorcycle! Thanks for watching!
Hey Brent glad to see your trip went well without any major problems.
What is “the loop” area that you drove? Also where was the tree lined highways at? Visiting my daughter in St. Augustine now and might be a good ride for me and my wife.
Thanks Robert, it was a great day. The Loop is a 22 mile route from Ormond Beach to south of Flagler Beach. If you're going south on A1A from St. Augustine, look for High Bridge Road on the right. That's the top of The Loop and the most scenic, not counting A1A itself. It goes south on Old Dixie Highway, then turns into Beach Street. Take the Highway 40 Bridge across the river and you can go back up A1A. Great ride. Enjoy!
