Just wanna find out if i could get a vs fuel sender unit and cut the plugs off the vs and re solder the wires on the VR and try use the vs plugs and sender going into the VR tank. Just that i cant find a VR fuel sender unit but a vs one is a every wrecker. Can someone let me know if they've done this before or if it would work. Cheers

The electrical connection system is slightly different between the VR/VS, but you could certainly solder the VR wires onto the VS plug. There are only two wires involved from the VR side but I'm not sure about the VS side.

This has turned out to be a bit confusing. The VR diagram in my post #2 shows one connector to the body of the sender unit which which contains the (C) level sender earth and the (D) level sender signal. The other loose connector shows white and red wires but both are labelled as fuel pump on. Presumably the red wire is the (A) fuel pump power wire. Don't know about the white wire.

Searching around, I found the information and VS diagram below, as well as the link for a new connector that you could plug the VR wires into to attach them to the VS sender.

(A) thick purple is fuel pump power
(B) thick black is earth
(C) thin black is level sender earth
(D) thin yellow or tan is level sender signal

just have to swap ur terminals, the middle two are for the sender B and C, the outside two are for the pump A and D, black in both being the earths, they are both above earth so wont get interference from body earths
