Pat,   I recently had the aft hatch floor out to run a quick inspection of the fuel tank connections.  All were tight.  However, I could not see the fuel sending unit.  It appears to under part of the aft cabin.  How did you gain the limited access to the sending unit???
I have hull#680.  
Thx.  Art
