Welcome to the forum and fill up your profile for more directed advise.
Last time I check, MBUSA sells fuel gauge as fuel pump assembly only, so it is not going to be cheap.
Those pumps are pretty tricky as they use Venturi effect to get the fuel from lower part of the tank and they did have BURNING WIRES problem.
MB never made a recall on it, but this way, or the other, the job require high-tech skills and is not for average DIY.
Tell us more how good you are in car repairs?

Im not familiar with ML tank system but in models where is saddle type tank, there are two sensor elements which are used combined... star will also show 2-3 diffeerent options for level sensor types.
