There’s an access panel located under the rear seat on the driver’s side. That gives you access to be able to remove the pump/float assembly. There’s several YouTube videos on it. Here’s a couple: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0iL1tFm9OM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0iL1tFm9OM) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwyYiv3ypBM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwyYiv3ypBM) ---

As said easy peasy but for the .7. Labor hours plus parts, do you really want to do it? You have one car so mess up and you are walking, compared to having a cup of coffee in the waiting room. ---

OK, refilled the tank, and the gauge now works perfectly. It seems to have gotten somewhat stuck on some fillup. My question about where the sensor was located precipitated a stupid comment as “in the gas tank, dummy!”. What I wanted to know what how to easily access it. The answer is that the access port is under the back seat. Who would have guessed? There is a door there. ---

I don’t think my comment was stupid. It answered the question you asked. If you meant to ask “How do I access the gas gauge float” why did you ask " **So where do I find information on exactly where the float is located? It’s only easy to do if you have a clue where it is.**"? [Previous page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/gas-gauge-not-working-right/197508.md?page=1)
