Fuel level sending unit-located where?

[mkey]

I have a 1987 420 SEL with a fuel gage needle that jumps around. I would like to clean and/or replace the fuel level sending unit, but don't know how to get to it.
I would appreciate any directions on how to get to this unit.
Thank You

In the 300E you access it from in the trunk. It's about right under the third brake light. Perhaps yours is the same.
