Fuel level sender -same for diesel & gas?

[marybeth]

In a ironic moment of father/son bonding my son(17) snapped the thin wires while cleaning his 1985 300D fuel level sender. Dad proudly showed him how to do it and I promptly snapped the thin wires on the fuel level sender on my 1983 300SD. Attemped repairs with similar wire and soldering proved unsuccessful.

The local boneyard had lots of gasser MBs in the same age range but no Diesels.

Are the fuel level senders both the same for Diesel and Gassers?

Thanks!
