VDO Gauges 226-618 Reed Switch Fuel Sender 180mm 240-33 Ohm

The VDO 226-618 is a precision reed switch fuel level sender designed for accurate fuel level monitoring in marine and automotive applications. This sender features a 180mm (7.1 inch) arm length and operates on a 240-33 ohm resistance range, making it compatible with VDO fuel gauges and many other gauge systems.

Key Features:

• Reed switch technology for reliable, long-lasting performance without wear-prone moving contacts
• 180mm mounting length fits standard fuel tank configurations
• 240-33 ohm resistance range (240 ohms empty, 33 ohms full)
• Compatible with VDO fuel gauges and other 240-33 ohm gauge systems
• Durable construction resists corrosion and fuel exposure
• Precise fuel level measurement for accurate gauge readings

This fuel sender utilizes reed switch technology, which provides superior reliability compared to traditional rheostat-style senders. The sealed reed switches eliminate contact wear and resistance issues that can cause inaccurate readings over time. The 240-33 ohm resistance range is a common European standard used by VDO and other manufacturers, where resistance decreases as fuel level increases.

Specifications:

• Mounting Length: 180mm (approximately 7.1 inches)
• Resistance Range: 240-33 ohms
• Technology: Reed switch
• Application: Fuel level sensing

Ideal for replacement or new installations in boats, marine applications, classic cars, and custom automotive builds requiring a 240-33 ohm fuel sender. Ensure your existing gauge is compatible with this resistance range before installation.
