    Aren't you really asking about a fuel level sender that will regulate the signal being sent to your gauge?
    If so, they are available in the after-market that can be adjusted and installed to do just that. So long as the fuel level system has the correct harness, along with a sender circuit, you should be able to adapt most to your application.
    Remember, the fuel level sender is basically a variable resistor calibrated to the gauge.
