The gas gauge sending unit is part of the fuel pump. Unfortunately, if you need to replace the sending unit, you're gunna need to replace the entire pump. I'm assuming it's not under warranty? What I would do is just go off the tripometer if I were you. That should give you a ballpark idea of when you'll need to fill up each time.

Fill 'er up.. reset your trip meter.. throw a 2 gallon jug of gas in the back (i'd secure it somehow.. you don't want it sliding around or tipping over back there) Then drive it till it's empty, note the mileage, subtract 20 miles from that number, write that number down and tape it over your fuel gauge. Then pour in the gas from the 'reserve tank' (your jug had a nozzle, yes?) Now head straight for the nearest gas station, fill 'er up, reset the trip meter and enjoy your 'gas worry free' jeepin' til your trip meter gets to the number on the gauge. (you should have approx. 20 miles to find a gas station)
