In order to be able to travel nose-down without  leaking fluids all over the railroad, Vega engineers had to design a  special engine oil baffle to prevent oil from entering the No. 1  cylinder, batteries had filler caps located high up on the rear edge of  the case to prevent acid spilling, the carburetor float bowl had a  special tube that drained gasoline into the vapor canister during  shipment, and the windshield washer bottle stood at a 45 degree angle.  Plastic spacers were wedged in beside the powertrain to prevent damage  to engine and transmission mounts. The wedges were removed when cars  were unloaded. </blockquote>
