Fuel Sender and Vent location

Hello,

I recently purchased a 2008 W245 B200 and it has a few minor problems which I am trying to sort out. It has a bouncing fuel gauge and I plan to first try the injection cleaner to see if that sorts it out. If not where do I access the fuel sender unit ? Is it under one of the seats or does the tank need to be dropped? I am also experiencing an issue with fueling in that the pump keeps clicking off when attempting to refuel. I have read that this is most likely a blocked fuel vent but I am unsure where to look to try and repair this. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Forget the cleaner---go for the sending unit----and for that post your VIN

Do you know if I will need to remove the tank to access the sending unit or it it accessed under the back seats ?
