MK1 Fuel Tank fuel Sender - Zetec

Hi guys,
 
i want to run my original fuel tank with my Zetec setup.
is there a fuel sender setup i can source or modify?
 
any guidance would be appreciated.
 
thanks
Bru

Mods to a fuel tank is allowed by engineer but some states might get shirty over different bolt holding the tank in place. I moved the inlet on my tank, blocked the original hole, not a problem. Just as long as everything that was there is there, vent wise and no leaks etc and it'll be peachy .
I went looking after his ask and went straight to AliExpress looking for senders, as most are top load it'll be hard to get it right on a mk1 tank, closet one I found was from a Pajero but again there'll be cutting and welding involved to make it work.
If the original sender is working but not the gauge there's ohm/resister kits that'll get the dial working, or just buy a generic gauge that's got adj readings

Also just wondering if some one could advise me what this is on the tank and what its function?
thx Bru

Glad you got it sorted,
That plastic cap thing possibly for a return vapour line. Being from UK they had different set ups to us . Car makers back then added/ factored in the future to some components

Thanks Marty.
 
yes, mine is located on the bottom/side of the Tank.
given im going to reuse the tank what wold you do with this section? seal it?
 

Agree with Marty, Multi fit/purpose.
Probably best to pressure test it after you finished the mods.
 
Not sure what state your in Bru, but I always give my engineer a call before I do something a bit left field.
Is that a new tank?
