The fuel sender is actually a cylinder-shaped cartridge that screws into the top of the fuel tank. The float is inside the cylinder. This unit cannot be disassembled for repair -- it's a sealed unit. Nor would you be able to fix it once you got it apart.

So the answer to your question is "yes." It's an electromechanical problem.
