I have a new fuel tank and am trying to fit the sender in. I was told that The screws I kept wouldn’t work on the new tank. Instead I needed M4-16s. I got those and they still don’t seem to work in the holes. Any thoughts?

you dont actually say what tank youre working with, or what build?

normally, you would work out the tank part number, and then look up on the jaguar landrover site, but theres a bit of a gap in series parts there - you may well find that your tank is used in listed builds though -

Search Genuine Land Rover Parts By Model

Shop Genuine Land Rover Classic Parts online – made to original specifications with guaranteed fitment. Includes fast global delivery and a 12-month manufacturer warranty.

again, stick the tank part number in the search, and then see what comes up in the diagrams etc

Buy a tap and tap them to the old screw thread. Avoid Britpart.

Even the 300tdi era tanks have, I think, 4ba, along with metric.
