Anyone fitted one of these before , Aint got a clue of how they join together, you would think there would be instructions with them.
Anyone fitted one of these ? Sender unit - all SWB and LWB tanks with 6 screw fitting - Paddock Spares

The white float goes into the 1 looped wire.
This is then attached to the wire off the sender & secured by then 2 little circular pinch clamps.

now before you clamp this,you must work out the full/empty position of the float before securing solid.
Them clamps are also crap… I used a large choc block( remove plastic cover) as these have screws & you can adjust

It’s more luck….
Measure height internally of tank.
Measure height of pick up from the bottom of the tank.
Now the empty should be higher than the pick up height. Allow 2” extra so hopefully you won’t run dry.

full tank should be the height of the tank(same again minus a bit off this so the tank does not spill round corners)

test the measurements with some extra long cables to the gauge.
