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.

A waste
Color: White/Silver-Tone/Digital
If I could I would give it zero stars. It was running when I received it so who knows how long the battery has left. No instructions were included. The setup is impossible unless you’re into computerized “smart” crap. I looked up how to do that and it’s way too involved for a watch to tell me what the time is. I don’t want a personal dictator, I just wanted a watch I could wear and know what time it is. Too much hassle to return. It’s going in the trash. Total waste of time energy and money. Zero stars.

Favorite Watch
Color: Black/Silver-Tone/Digital, Color: Black/Silver-Tone/Digital
I have been using this same kind of watch for 10+ years. I like the belt like strap and the small size. I also appreciate how it has a light on it, the date, and the stop watch. I haven’t had any issues with the battery. These watches have held up well for me although I try to avoid getting them wet. The buttons are hard to press when you first get them but get a little easier to press over time. I still have issues remembering how to change the time and typically have to look up how. The silver parts on the front do wear out over time and turn copper colored. I wore one of these watches for around 5 years before buying a new one when the band which holds the excess space from the band broke. Attached is a picture of the watch that I wore for at least 5 years and a brand new one that I bought.

Perfect for School
Color: Blue/Silver-Tone/Digital
Purchased as a for a middle schooler who isn’t allowed any electronics at school during school hours. Helps keep her on task without breaking the smart device policies. Perfect “old school” way to work.

hard to read display, no manual included.
Color: Black/Black/Digital
I haven't decided yet whether or not I will keep the watch. Problem is there is no instruction manual attached and you cannot find one online. However if you call Timex support they will email you the manual if you give them the model number which is included in Amazon's product description. However even with the manual watch is very hard to set. It lacks some functions normally Timex has like time can only be set up there is no down button. And most importantly display is minuscule. So it is really hard to read to set. Watch is a ladies watch. It is small and I like it a lot. But buttons are hard to operate and it is hard to read.
