Fuel level, NAC but VAC

Tihol;
There is more to Eurovan gauge problem than the voltage regulator - either 
check the archives of ev_update group on Yahoo, or email me and I will find 
it for you.  There are a couple known cold solder joints on the instrument 
board that need to be re-soldered.
Having said that, I don't think this is the problem in your case - the gauge 
quit completely after pump R&R so look for torn or broken wires, loose 
connectors, etc.
Did you get the old stype pump (with sender integrated) or the new style 
(pump attached to the bottom of fuel tank, sender to the lid)?
