I didn't realize they were different.
My sensor did have worn contacts as you said. The bigger problem was lots of play in the pivot. The contacts on the swing arm wouldn't touch the contacts because of all the slop in the joint.
My new sender/sensor pivot was so tight I had to add weight to the swing arm. It would read full all the time because the float wouldn't fall and contact the gasoline.
