Electrically, the senders are compatible. I have an 84 CUCV(military version of a K30) with the 6.2. Replaced the broken fuel gauge with a "Unleaded Fuel Only" gauge. Other then the wrong labeling, it works fine.

I would paint the filler cap green and put an obvious "Diesel Fuel Only" label as a best effort to prevent fueling mistakes.
Ok thanks.good to know.
