Answers: 1. The d*mned tank is behind the d*maned spare tire. 2. To get to the d*mned connector you have to drop the d*mned tank. 2a. To get to the d*mned connector you have to cut a hole in the floor (not recommended). 3.Yes, we have. Possible causes are: a. bad float. b. poor connections. c. bad sending unit. d. bad gauge. e. adjustment tabs bent incorrectly. f. none of the above (there'll be a quiz on Friday).

Jack

PS -- I have a post that I can repost on dropping and reinstalling the tank, if requested.
