Default Anyone running an aftermarket fuel level sender with stock gauges

Is anyone running an aftermarketfuel level sender with their stock gauge? I've got a JAZ fuel sender installed in a modified tank that I'm trying to get to work with my stock gauge. The JAZ sender has a 240 ohms empty, 33 ohms full range. I realize this is basically the reverse of the stock sender. I tried flipping the PVM tables but the gauge just reads full the whole time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I use an Autometer #3262 (rheostat/potentiometer flipped upside down) in my 24gallon cell in the back of my 01 GMC. If your JAZ is plastic you shouldn't have any ground feedback issues and should be able to wire it right up. If your fuel cell is metal like mine, I had to add another bulkhead fitting to not have ground loop issues (Autometer doesn't sell parts so I had to buy 2 3262 units ).

Should just be the purple and black wires to the top of the sender.
