    You are right it\'s an Escort van tank.
    Normally cars are fitted with the correct Ford Escort sender but this is known to give bad readings.
    Someone, once grafted a Marina sender onto a Ford. It will work but the float arm will need bending to suit the depth of the Ford tank.

    1984 Marlin Roadster SWB.
    1800TC, Unleaded ported head, stage 2 cam. Ford Type 9 gearbox, Dolomite Sprint rear axle fitted with MGF disc brakes.
    Three core radiator, Renault Clio vented front discs.

    Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.

      You can get a \'Universal\' one from the likes of Europa .I found that together with a Smiths fuel guage I got pretty accurate readings.
