You're going to have to either have a fuel pressure regulator which has the required AN sized tap for the sender unit OR you're probably going to have to get a double banjo bolt and a banjo to AN hose made up to take the sender.

Have you checked the resistance of your original sender ?

except that toyota senders invariably work opposite to aftermarket... ie in stock gauges low tank is about 180-200Ohms and full tank is about 8-10ohms and most after market gauges the full tank reading is 200ohms and the low tank is 5-10ohms.

you can either try and run it backwards or design a small circuit to reverse the signal giving out the right reading to the display or install and aftermarket fuel sender.
