The fuel level sensor is located in the fuel tank. you have to drop the tank and remove the fuel pump assembly. The sensor is located on the pump. My gauge was acting up and after I replace the fuel level sensor the gauge works fine. The job took me and my dad about 2 hours because it was our first time. We had to figure everthing out.

I have a 2001 impala LS and in the trunk towards the front(right behind the back seat), there is a cover that you can unbolt and remove the fuel pump without dropping the tank, you can then replace the sensor once it is out. SC

I can also vouch that on my 2002 Impala LS, the fuel pump is accessible through a removable panel in the trunk. If you're lucky enough to have an Impala model that has the fold-down rear seats it is simple to determine if you have the removable panel. Simply fold down your rear seats. Next, from inside the car, carefully pull back the trunk liner by slipping it out from under the folded down rear seats. The liner has an overlap near the center of the trunk running backwards toward the spare tire well. The liner overlap is held down by a few dabs of sticky glue. After pulling back the trunk liner, if you see a metal panel that is attached by some nuts, then you are really in luck. Remove the nuts and pry the metal panel up by using a flathead screwdriver or similar device. The panel is also held down by some sticky glue, so pry slowly and carefully by making several passes around the panel so you don't bend it. And viola, the fuel pump is right there! Here is a set of 13 short video clips that generically describe how to replace a fuel pump. http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-repair-or-replace-a-fuel-pump-226058/

-The fuel sender assembly wasn't moved until 2005, so if you have a 2000-2005 you should be able to get to it via the access hatch under the spare tire, via the back seat.
