Default 36 Humpback Tudor fuel sending unit

How do I access the tank sending unit, through the trunk or behind the rear seat? The fuel gauge pegs past full on start up and the needle stays out of sight.

Yes behind the rear seat there should be a trap door that has a tongue at one end and secured by 1 screw at the other.

Access is through the TRUNK floor, NOT UNDER the rear seat.
