and then rig up a complicated series of mirrors so you can see it from the driver's seat. heh.

I'd think you'd need a new gauge and sending unit that are made for eachother.

is the fuel cell that much different than your current tank?
use the same sending unit or one from a boat with an inboard tank, try the older ones that are similiar to cars ,correct craft used for their 1989-1997 boats . all you have to do is shorten the arm or bend it so that when your empty it reads empty same with 1/2 1/4 or 3/4 full tweak it till it is close enough.

p.s. most fuel gauge systems are very low tech
and are not too sensitive to changes.
