sorry, I saw this last night and was just too tired to reply...

anyway the fuel level sender is a 0-110 ohm, with full being typically around 3 ohm, and empty being around (you guessed it) 110-120 ohms of resistance.

I would think you can swap it into a fuel cell tank, you just may have to adjust the height depending on your tank.

The fuel level idiot light is a little different, it has continuity to ground to light the light.

Thanks.
