Hello:
A junkyard auto-mechanic recently told me that the 86 Jetta GL I bought from him had both an in-tank fuel pump and an external fuel pump. While the mechanic seems honest and knowledgeable, I question his statement since the Chilton manual for this car only mentions an external fuel pump.
Can anyone verify that the 86 Jetta GL does indeed have an in-tank fuel pump like the mechanic suggested?
Respectfully,

Lesson: Don't trust a Chilton manual tp be totally accurate.
