Right after filling up the reading was FULL. Then after driving about 30 miles the reading was between 1/4 and Empty.
1- I want to test the sending unit. Do I have to remove the fuel tank? or is there an open slot on the floor via which I can somehow reach and remove the sending unit for testing?
Looking from underneath the tank I saw nothing.

2- Is the original fuel gauge available?
