Default Where is a good place to buy a cheap fuel guage?

Cheap fuel guages, where is a good place to get a 2" one?
I dont particularly want to spend more than $30 for one.

You have to get one to suit the sender in the car, no idea how you find this out.

I just bought an autometer one for my torana and a aftermarket sender to suit. It was around $130.

yeah....
i just rang an instrument place.
Pain in the *** part is that i have lpg and the sender is inside the tank so I have no way of determining the impedance to match an aftermarket gauge to it.

So they reckon I need to pull the dash out and to replace the regulator on the dash $88 and to fix the gauge is another $55 bucks, im tired of this ИИИИ heap costing me money.

is there anyway of finding out the senders impedance values without pulling it apart or doing the checking it at full then at empty?
