disconnect fuel line (be careful it'll spray some that is pressured in the line) butdont worry it's not much. Use a rag to cover while disconnecting so it don't get in your face!
Use rag to clean up excess fuel spillage
take out all six screws and put them some where safe!
Lift the thing out, it might take some jenga skills to help manuver the unit out...
Clean the fuel level sensor with a q tip... (use a few)
fuel level sensor should be next to the floating assembly arm, you should be able to tell. Looks like a graph type thing . Haha
reverse the steps and you should be good to go
hope thishelps

I fixed this problem on my car and both of my friend's G coupes. One 03 and another 05.
Simply replace both driver and passenger side Fuel Sending Units along with the O rings. The fuel level issue is a common problem on the G. The 4 parts should cost about ~$250. Replacing it is easy too.

Hi,
how or where can I buy the passenger sending unit all by it self.
I called the dealer and they won't sell it separately because they say it comes with the pump and other stuff. Dealer wants over $400 for the passenger Side and $120 for the driver's side.
Any help will be apreciated!
Thank you!

TIA!

The passenger side fuel sensor is a bit of a hasle to take out, and dont worry about dropping the fuel line attached to the fuel sensor into the tank once you un hook it,, you can easily grab it later on...
The driver side fuel sensor is easy to take out. Once both of em are out, clean the graphs on em with a Q-Tip and your good 2 go.

The dealerships always replace both for some reason. So I suggest doing the same as well. Eventually the older one will go bad anyways. mind as well do both. Most of the time it's the passenger side one that goes bad.

I've been looking at a few reasons as to why my gauge is stating 'E' when it has at least 14 gallons in the tank. With only 55k miles, do you think cleaning would fix the problem? Or should I go ahead and jump the gun to give my buddy at the dealership a call to order me new sensors? I feel that @ 55k, it would be too early for the sensors to foul out.
Thanks in advance!

which side would you want to change out first? I assume the passenger side?
I found infinitipartsusa selling them, but which would it be? 11 & 14?

Well, the driver side would be cheaper since just the sensor is $100. The passenger side which is the fuel pump as well is $270. It'd be worth doing one at a time to see if one fixed it before replacing both.
Before that though, I'd just clean off the copper contact points with a q-tip on both of the sensors. Mine used to have 7-8 gallons in the tank when it was showing empty and it never showed a full tank on the needle. Now when the light comes on, I have about 3 gallons. left, and the gauge shows full when I top it off. It's not ideal, but I'm much happier with the fix and it was free.
