[C320-list] Passenger Capacity

.Art,
I just looked at the unit yesterday because I have a diesel leak when the boat is heeled. Part of the sender is under the starboard floor.
You would need to crawl into the port hatch and then work your way over to the tank. You would need a 1/4 " open end or box wrench for the removal.
Not an easy job with limited space. It looks like the sender may pull out without removing the tank, it's close.
Good luck

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
