1963 fuel sending unit access

[psquare]

Can anyone tell me how to access the fuel sending unit on a 63 T Bird convertible. Is it necessary to drop the tank, or is it accessible through the trunk.
Thanks in advance.

To access the sending unit. take the trunk floor liner off, there is a black round inspection cover with 3 screws, take it off. there is the sending unit. take the wire that goes to the fuel gauge off, use a screwdriver and a hammer to rotate the locking ring counterclockwise, take the fuel hose off and pull the sending unit out after the lock ring is off. takes 5 minutes. easy job, an easy fix can buy a new sending unit for $40 or so on eBay. reverse directions to install don't forget a new o ring and make sure it doesn't move when yo put the new sender or old sender in.

You were 100% correct. Access is through the trunk. Easy fix. Waiting on the new sending unit. Thank you
