Remove back seat.
Remove plastic access cover on driver's side. Not the shock absorber access cover, the other one.
There it is.

I ripped mine up for better access with a crescent wrench in the parts car. Upper left in the photo, you can see the black access cover sitting on the rear deck.

If you don't have a reclining rear bench, push outwards the tabs where the seat cushion meets the carpet then lift the forward edge upwards then forwards then out. Remove 3 screws (8mm wrench) holding brackets extending down from the seat back to the rear bulkhead. Lift the seat back 3-4" then remove. You might have to first remove the headrests. Gently peel back the insulation over the rear bulkhead from the area described.

Little clips on the front bottom edge hold the lower seat. Then remove left, center, right 8-mm headed screws at bottom of seat back. Lift back up about an inch/25 mm, and remove. You will need a 46 mm to remove the sender, same size as for the strainer at the bottom of the tank.

Installation, as they say, is reverse.

Need to type faster next time.
