90 Accord Coupe Gas Sending Unit

Does anyone know how to change the sending unit? I am thinking you have to drop the gas tank. My gas readout out does not go fully to teh top....and when i get to the E line my low gas light indicator does not come on....

The Chilton's Manual sez you have to drop the tank to change the sender, however, I looked on my car and can access the sender on the right side under carpet near the rear seat bottom. It is located under a plastic plug visible from the trunk. The sensor is held in with a partial turn ring. I made a remover tool with a 2" Sked 80 PVC coupling which grabs the the 3 ring tits. Twist counterclockwise to remove. You can check the guage by shorting the yel/wht to ground. The guage should go slowly to completely full. To check the light, short the grn/red to ground. The low fuel light should illuminate.

I have a 4dr. But before dropping the tank, take a visual.

I willl thanks again...oh just to be clear....when you say right side you are talking about the passenger side, correct?

[mpumas]

Correct. You might have to remove the rear seat if you cannot see the plug from the front of the trunk. Otherwise you will have to drop the tank.

I am hoping to only having to remove the rear seat...if i have to drop the tank, i will live with the gauge not fully working...thanks for you help and advice...
