Yes you can - as long as it's a mechanical switch and compatible with engine oil. Might have to use an adapter to match pipe threads. If you can figure out which sending unit has the setting you want, it should be an easy job. You may be able to order what you need from McMaster-Carr, et al.

Edit: And the switch action (NO or NC) needs to match.
