Yes you can use the stock gauge.  Depending on the depth of your fuel cell, you might be able to mount the stock sending unit to the top of it.  I have an adjustable VDO sending unit on my RCI aluminum fuel cell and it works great.

I didnt realize you got the fuel cell with sending unit....  That sending unit works from 0-90 ohms (Chevy style) and will not work accurately with the stock gauge.  You will need to use an after market gauge or replace the sending unit with either a stock one or an aftermarket one thats adjustable.

Not 100% positive, but I think it will.  You should take the stock one off and measure how tall the whole assembly is.  You may need to modify the mounting flange a little.  Before I went with the aftermarket sending unit, I actually considered using the stock one and it looked like it would work.

Hope this helps....
