Huw,

   The sending unit is attached to the large circular plate in the tank.
There should be a clamp ring that goes around the opening and clamps the
tank and the sending unit in place.  Be very careful, use a brass drift,
YOU DON'T WANT ANY SPARKS!!!  Look for a raised piece on the clamp ring,
then using the brass drift, hit it with a hammer until it unscrews.  Then
lift the sending unit out.
