Fuel tank removal -how do I ensure not issue with fuel gauge after reinstall?

I've read a lot of useful information on the forum in preparation for a fuel tank removal, (to install brackets for RIB Neptune seats and diesel heater). One issue I have read about that worries me is people finding the fuel gauge doesn't work properly afterwards. Any tips on how to avoid this or any other pitfalls that aren't obvious.
 
Very carefully tilt the sender unit when you take it out, so as not to bend anything delicate. Make sure the electrical connections are secure before you lift the tank back up. I’ve done this on my T5 and the fuel gauge still works - I’ll be doing it again on the 6.1 when I get it.
