Matt,
The item you are looking for is a solid state voltage drop. It will only handle a small amount of current, but is perfect for things like your gas gauge. You can buy one from JC Whitney.
“REGULATED VOLTAGE REDUCER (71ZX0376Y) Protects your 6-volt gauges when upgrading older vehicle to 12 volts—inexpensive alternative to expensive replacement gauges.
$16.99”
