Description

Fuel Level Sending UnitWe used to carry both the early model (251 91 051E) and late model (251 919 051K) fuel sending gauges. After testing them out on our vans, we discovered that you can use the late model unit for early model vans! We now sell just the 251 919 051K for all years of Vanagons we love the results we get with them, and we think you will too. Note: If you are dropping your fuel tank to re seal the vapor control system, it is a good time to replace the sending

We used to carry both the early model (251-91-051E) and late model (251-919-051K) fuel sending gauges. After testing them out on our vans, we discovered that you can use the late model unit for early model vans! We now sell just the 251-919-051K for all years of Vanagons -- we love the results we get with them, and we think you will too.

Note: If you are dropping your fuel tank to re-seal the vapor control system, it is a good time to replace the sending unit. If you don't and it goes bad, you will be dropping the fuel tank again to replace this sending unit. A wise man once said, "There is always time to do it right the second time around." Do it right the first time around! Do it right, cry once!

Application note: This part does not fit 4WD Syncro. You can find that sending unit here.

Installation Tips

IMPORTANT: The casting of the plastic "ramps" that lock this sender into place on the tank are not as exact as the OE part. You might need to shave the ramps down a bit (a razor blade works well) to prevent the tank from digging in and gouging the ramps (see photo above). During installation, if you find that the sender stops rotating smoothly into place, stop and remove it. Inspect the ramps and trim away any areas where the plastic is gouged. Additionally, we strongly recommend lubing the O-ring with white lithium grease. You must compress the O-ring tightly to clock the sending unit into the correct position.

Best full synthetic oil I ever used.
This oil I use in my outboard and I also buy another wt oil for my car. My cars mileage went up 2-3 consistent MPG on the digital mileage counter and use in my 2020 Merc 40hp and the outboard runs smoother and oil stays clean longer. Confident in this oil better than re-branded oils and higher cost. This oil exceeds by far manufactures oil ratings. Use high quality oil filters also.
