Fuel Sender Nichrome wire

After much fussing, I've not only managed to measure the diameter of the junk wire from the fuel sender of my 300D, I've also measured the resistance per foot.

Diameter: 0.0045 Inches

Resistance/Ft: 29.5 Ohms.

Can anyone else verify this, or am I in relatively unexplored territory?

I'm thinking I can use wire with a slightly lower resistance per foot, because I could easily adjust resistance higher with a series or series-parallel resistor circuit.

I can't be the only one crazy enough to try this.
