If you are wondering if the gas gauge and the temperature gauge work the same way and can be interchanged, the answer is no. They're different entirely. There are at least 4 different gas gauge designs. You have is what is called a balanced electromagnetic coil gauge. To understand how it works please search and look for an article I wrote a few years ago titled something like "your fuel gauge explained...sort of." As for your temperature gauge, what you have in the GM electric temperature gauge is essentially a volt meter. The sending unit varies the amount of voltage received...all dependent on temperature. And there are both electric and mechanical temperature gauges. Good luck.
