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.

^****ing oath, do you want it done for you? 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.
