C5 fuel level sender

C5 fuel level sender
Since the C5's have 2 gas tanks and two inputs to the PCM for tank level. Does anyone know if the two signals are the same? What is the resistance value for the senders? The reason I ask is I am thinking of using a C5 instrument cluster and would like to have the fuel gauge work.
thanks
thanks

C5 fuel sender signal-what is it?
So do you guys know how the C5 fuel senders and signal works? One reason I am asking is I own a C5 and all C5 and other same sender equiped cars have this issue the senders are junk! Over time the fuel gauge will become irradic droping to zero from half tank or other positions. The current theory or explaination is the high sulfer content in the gas coats the silver coated senders and blocks the signal going to the PCM. Then the PCM doesn't know what the value the sender is and drops to zero.
One thing I did read is that Chevrolet's cure is to replace both senders ($250 each) and reflash the PCM to change the sampling rate. I have not heard of any real sender solution so far.
What is the signal or ohmic value that is sent to the PCM?
