this guide includes pictures to help you fill up your tank with gas. it includes notes on things you can do while you're waiting.
** i am not responsible if you mess up in any way, shape, or form! do at your own risk! **
these are the two indicators that your gas is low. one is that the arrow is towards the left (in the red). the other is that a chime will sound.
Image

find a gas station asap or you'll run out of gas like my dad has!
pull into the gas station and find an empty pump. park such that the pump is on your RIGHT.
find your gas tank release switch.
Image

pull up on the switch.
Image

make sure your car is off or it'll go BOOM!
Image

walk around the car (to the passenger side) and you'll see that the gas cover is cracked open. if it's not then go pull the switch again.
Image

fully open the cover.
Image

turn the gas cover counter clockwise (right tighty, lefty loosey) and place onto the gas cap cover. there are two notches to help it sit properly
Image

alternate view for clarity.
Image

pay either by using a credit card or by going inside to pay. the method to use your credit card entails you pushing the card in the slot and then pulling it back out.
Image

remove a pump and place into the gas tank. i polluted, the fume cover was missing!
Image

go back to the pump and flip the handle up. these two pictures will help show you what to do.
Image

Image

go back to the gas pump and pull the handle up. push the slide forward to lock it into place.
Image

***free time***
you can clean your windows now!
Image

you can throw out your trash!
Image

**end free time**
when the pump is done, it'll stop making noise. it'll also make a loud noise as it comes to the end.
two indicators: one is that the numbers have stopped moving
Image

the other is that the handle has flipped back down
Image

place the pump back into the receptacle
Image

remove your receipt
Image

replace the gas cap. read the warning on it! you must turn it so that it clicks several times (ensuring that it is fully seated). also, close the door cover.
Image

restart the car, and yay! the light is gone and the needle is near full! the needle might take a little while to go to full!
thanks, and have a good day!

Re: (.w3b.)

someone mirror the pictures so when they go down in a month I can still make use of this. It's worthless unless the exact steps are detailed in color.

after a couple weeks i'll move them off of this fast server to my personal one so that i don't lose all of my bandwidth.
 
Re: (bigmak)

i was gonna say that this diy is useless, but then i remembered that this is the mk4 forum and its very possible a few people really dont know how to pump gas...
nice write up btw
