Not saying this is correct but I it helps mine comes from a
Power aurply connected from the ignition (white wire under dash I think) to the level and then to the meter and then earth.
For mine it goes into a three way switch as I have two senders for two tanks but it's off the white wire under dash and then to the sender.
Hopefully it's correct.

Nah, don't think so. There is a cable with a green and a black connector at one end which connects to the tanks, then there is a black plug on the other end which plugs into a standard connector somewhere. From memory there are 2 options:
1. it is around the transfer box area
2. it is near the main connectors in the engine bay
but I really can't find it!
It is only about 2 feet long so can't go very far!

Mine is a 1983 model and has been through an engine swap, so to be honest it's most likely been butchered.
Ah, it's probably different then, mine is a 1998. Thanks though.
Anyone else got any ideas?

The wiring changes from model to model, but here is my findings:
It comes up the rear lights loom, I think beside it, although it might go into the same loomed run of cables, up the front of the bulkhead and connects into one of the multi-connetors up next to the clutch pedal box.
There are 3 wires I think, only 2 of them are actually need, and I think you will find it is a black and green, might not be solid green, but green and maybe a thin white... .
If you look on this forum, for my "Defender Bodywork Rebuild" I am sure, I post photos of these things and it may make it all clearer.
