Gas Level Sensor Malfunction

I have a 2000 CLK 320. Lately, when I start the car, the gas gauge stays on empty....after about 2 mins of driving, it now goes to full even though I probably only have 3/4 of a tank left. My guess is the sensor is malfunctioning. My question is, what is the exact name of the part I need? I went to thebenzbin.com but didn't see a gas level sensor. If you have a link to a site that carries the part, the would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Check with your dealer because it might be a malfunctioning fuel sender. If that's the case, the part was recalled and it's a free fix.
