The most accurate type is a capillary one(goes in to sender housing and a sealed tube runs from there to the gauge).
 Any electronic type can be used ,providing the correct voltage stabiliser is used.I thought about using one,but the cost of the bits was about the same as a adjustable thermostatic fan switch kit,so got one of those instead.

I take it that you are talking about the original 3 bladed plastic fan and not an electric fan ?
