Tried searching? This topic has been covered a thousand times. Your original sender will fit if the flange is the same. (some have 6 bolts, most have 5)

In your first post you said the tank did not come with a sender? :s why wouldn't you just use the one from the tank from the start? If the hose connects to the swirl pot, it is the return line.

Have you checked if your long range tank has a short filler neck? If so, be prepared to buy some very expensive 50mm fuel hose.
