Sending units are a lever arm and a float, that increases in resistance the fuller the tank is 0 ohms=empty, 90ohms=full. If you have a bad electrical connection in the wiring path that can be cleaned, but the most common failure of a sending unit is getting stuck(usually reading completely full or empty). The sending units are sealed and cannot be cleaned.
