Hey Dave, why would the sender be replaced? Didn't think there was such a thing as a 6v or 12v senders?

The sender would probably work, but the resistance would be incorrect for 12 volts so You would get an incorrect reading....

I have never changed the senders to 12 volt, the 6 volt gauge and sender works fine.
