I have an A4 in my E29..mine runs fine but as you say the fumes can be bad and I've spent hours looking for fuel leaks and have found nothing. I have done some research on conversion to electric and diesel. I did find on "Electric Yacht" some useful information. They sell conversion kits etc...

I personally would go with wire nuts and possibly a piece of shrink tube over each splice/wire nut to provide extra protection due to the harsh /wet environment...thats just me... hopefully I've been able to help you.

The spade lug method of termination is perfectly acceptable, however ,the example you show is not in conformance with the NEC according to Article 300 13 (B) /..Mechanical and Electrical Continuity.. (B) Device Removal ..states in part.. the continuity of a grounded conductor (neutral) SHALL...
