no your gauge wont work off the stock sender (at least probably not) as they probably run a different scale of resistances.

its simple just go get an adaptor from a hardware store or pipe place.

ok so when i go to the store with the fittings i tell them i need a "1/8th BSP -28 tpi :to: 1/8" -27npt" is that the right way to say it? this is probably gonna be hard to find

I come from a land down under
You need 1/8 bsp male to 1/8 npt female adaptor.

As I said you can interchange them it's not ideal but it does work as it's only 1 tpi and 5 degree angle difference just be sure to use tape on the fitting.
