If it is leaking it is defective. If not then all you can do is just replace it and see if they fixes the problem.

I keep a mechanical oil pressure gauge, some plastic line, assorted fittings and adapters all in a small box for testing engine oil pressure. If it is difficult to get to the sending unit, then just replace it as stated above.

Why does your 2000 Dodge Dakota act like it wants to run out of gas when there is full tank?

It could be a faulty fuel pump module, a plugged fuel filter, a damaged fuel line, faulty injector(s), faulty coil pack(s), or a short in the wiring to the fuel pump module, etc. The first steps to diagnosing the exact problem would be to have fuel pressure and fuel pump output tested and scan for any engine fault codes. Note: The fuel pump, fuel level sending unit, and fuel filter are one integral unit located inside the fuel tank. A problem with any one of these means replacing the entire fuel pump module, which, in turn, requires either the removal of the tank or the truck box.
