what I need is information on what transfer or switch to use. I don’t mind just transferring to main tank. Don’t need to be able to monitor secondary tank level. Any ideas appreciated.
Miltary Series II's had a changeover tap to switch between tanks.
You might struggle to find one of those but similar taps are available.

My Series I uses two Facet electric pumps. The pumps have a non-return valve so they are just Tee'd into a line to the carby. I have a changeover switch on the dash that selects which tank to pump and also changes to the sender in that tank.
Installed by a previous owner.

There is also a fuel pressure regulator as the Facets are too high a pressure for the Holden carby fitted.
My Defender also has twin tanks, on that there is a pump that lifts from the sill tank into the main tank. The sill tank has a sender and also a sensor that stops the pump if the fuel gets too low to save burning out the pump.
