OK here we go, so Ive got the bit in the tank with the 2 prongs on and Ive also got the level gauge with a black, red, and yellow wire on the back.

what do i do with them

If I remember right :-
Black = 12v negative supply
Red = 12v positive supply
Yellow = one of the sender prongs
The other sender prong needs to be connected to the Black (don't connect to the chassis or a different negative wire - the gauge may be affected by other equipment )
Once you have filled the tank , press the read button and adjust the little knob to set the needle to full.(Some older gauges dont have this facility ?)
If the tank is very shallow you may not be able to adjust it correctly - in this case there is a resistor that needs cutting of the back of the circuit board.
I wil see if I can find a copy of the instructions tomorrow.

i owe you one

Checked instructions with a new kit - not much to add ,
They recommend cutting the prongs so they are 85% of the full depth of the tank.
No mention of the resistor thing - holes in pcb but not fitted any more ?

nice bloke DD is jed spoke to him at Vanfest...he was behind you
