Default fuel cell question

sorry for posting this here not getting any help in the tech section.Need help, I was planning on running a 10 gal. fuel cell w/ a GM sending unit which use's 0-90 ohm sender, and I want to use the factory fuel gauge but the problem is it use's 4-112 ohms, is there a way that I can use a resistor to up the ohms, so that I can use the factory fuel gauge? I know that the stock sender is 2-5 ohms full and 105-112 ohms empty, the thing is I don't know which way the GM sender work's as far as if the 0 ohm is the empty or full. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I wonder if the guy's at Year One could help with the GM side. Or another place that sells that kind of stuff.

Or maybe get a used GM gauge from a junk yard and play around with it...

Have you checked any on line GM manuals ?

you could use a voltmeter and play with it manually until you get the ohms your aiming for . resistors from radio shack are pretty cheap

thanks for the answers guys, but i do not know any thing about resistors or ohms and that's why i asked the question.i know there are people running fuel cells in hondas so i thought someone would have done this before.it sucks to have to run with an other gauge but i guess thats what i'm going to have to do.keep the answers coming
