Yeah, the sending unit for the gas gauge is usually part of the fuel pump unit. This can be a very dangerous job. If you attempt it, make sure you use non-sparking tools.
I replaced the in-tank pump on a Dodge Caravan once and it scared the heck out of me! The minute I took the pump out, and I could see the gasoline fumes pouring from the tank, all I could imagine was a huge fireball with me in the center. Probably the best thing is to make up ground clips to ground my tools to the RV frame and then ground the RV frame to a nearby water faucet connection coming from the ground alongside my RV. The last time I replaced a in-tank pump I prayed that I'd never have to do it again. I hate to sound cynical but so much for the power of prayer.
