English term or phrase: sender

The sender fuel feed (transfer) pipe has
two anti-siphon holes in the middle of the
pipe which are too large.

I think "fuel feed (transfer) pipe " is good enough for the meaning?

English translation:No

Explanation:
Without more context, I'd say "No, you cannot omit 'sender'".

The author obviously thought 'sender' was important enough to mention it in his/her text. Unless you know (at least) as much about the system as the author, you cannot simply ignore the word.

For example, if the 'sender' is the transmitter of a telemetry system monitoring fuel delivery, you cannot leave it out.
