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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are dropping your fuel tank to re-seal the vapor control system, it is a good time to replace the sending unit.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1vj6-XedyE1h6vIT6TKz1ewQYkSRF9xD7\/view?usp=share_link\"\u003e2WD Fuel Level Sender Installation Instructions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/8170\/4357\/files\/251-919-051E_K_FUEL_LEVEL_SENDER.pdf?v=1654645951\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eArticles\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gowesty.com\/blogs\/article-library\/fuel-gauge-system-in-vanagon-how-to-troubleshoot-check-and-calibrate\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFuel Gauge System in Vanagon: How to Troubleshoot, Check, and Calibrate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca title=\"Fuel Tanks \u0026amp; Level Senders: An Investigation\" href=\"https:\/\/gowesty.com\/blogs\/article-library\/vanagon-2wd-fuel-level-sender-investigation\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFuel Tanks \u0026amp; Level Senders: An Investigation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GoWesty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44523937857719,"sku":"251-919-051K-AM","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6429\/1511\/files\/251-919-051KMAIN.jpg?v=1740685200","url":"https:\/\/milkymotorsports.com\/products\/fuel-level-sending-unit-2","provider":"Milky Motorsports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
