That;s from the extended range fuel tank of a 1995 Leyland Roadrunner, Australian spec.

Slightly more serious answer - from your other posts, it's from a Rickman Ranger, and there's an owners' club and FB group for them. Tried those?

Shtu,

This old thread on PH would suggest the tank used on the Rickman is from an Escort van/estate, doesn't say if mk1 or mk2 though but it may be worth giving the poster a nudge to ask if they remember.

The tank sender being is on the top of the tank rather than the side would confirm it's from a van/estate

Here is a Mk2 escort estate/van sender unit for sale.
Does look similar, although the top flange doesn’t appear to be the same shape.

Scrump/Oakdale,
Many thanks for what you have both done. I will get in touch with the guys today to confirm if it is a top fixing or side fitting sender. Again much appreciated.

Hi Neil, I am unsure about whether you wish for originality, but at the price for that sender I would consider an alternative, possibly even tank and sender.
I have seen this unit https://www.enginemaster.com.au/classic-instrument... which is for an adjustable sender as I presume you wish to keep the original escort gauges. however there are many tanks that could be adapted, some of which may just need a resistor to balance the control.

Ozzie,
Thanks for all your info. It could well be useful I have noted it. I have just been told that the sender was taken off the top of the tank. Which confirms that it is escort van!
