my guess is you may have to tweek the shape of the pickup tube and possibly re-bend the float arm to get close to your original shape[s]. then there is the possibility the swing of the float arm will not be the correct distance as the original. in other words, it may stay full for quite a while, then drop to empty rather fast, or drop to 3/4 from full somewhat quick, then be relatively accurate for the rest of the tank. i'm pretty sure the diameter of the sending unit is the same, so the gasket and retaining ring will work. you may or may not have to file a new orientation notch. if you don't mind experimenting a little, i would try it. but i like to try things just to see what happens or what will fit especially if someone says it won't work.
