Before you go too far, do a search for the sender and find a drawing. You will find that is on the back side of the tank, access in the trunk. The tank needs to be almost empty to do it.

Guess I don't need to caution you on this approach. It can be done, but has its danger/damage element.

I even checked the sender location at one of the parts suppliers, and I was still wrong.
Every time Jaguar makes an improvement it's more difficult to work on.
