It's really not very hard, at least for my car it wasn't. Open up the trunk and pull the carpet over from the side where the back of the seats are and you should see a metal plate screwed to the car. Unscrew it, this will give you access to the fuel sender unit, there will be hoses connected to it, If you take the hoses off it will be less difficult to pull out of the tank. I was able to get it off with hoses connected. If I recall correctly you should be able to pull it out of the tank by twisting it 90 degrees counter clockwise. you may have to use something to help persuade it to turn as they tend to be fairly tight. Pull it out and check the float, it will be obvious if any fuel has entered the float. I replaced my float with one from a junk yard. If you're real inventive (just remember you are dealing with GASOLINE!) you might be able to drain it and just patch up the hole.
