It should. The actual resistance is not very important.
The sender sends back a voltage that represents the RATIO between full and empty. For a 12 volt system, a full tank willl send 12v - 3/4 tank will send 9V - 1/2 tank will send 6V - 1/4 tank will send 3V....get it? The actual resistance shouldn't matter, it's the RATIO that's important.
On their death bed, nobody ever said, "Gee I wish I'd spent more time at work!"
