just noticed thread search on right hand side of tipo page and found some old threads with same problem so i've had a look and got some idea's of what it is so hopfully i've got my answer, wasn't the simply answer i wanted, i was hoping just to clean a plug up somewhere but looks like its a case of getting into petrol tank and replacing some bits

the sender can unscreww from the top of the fuel pump housing - its not the big round thing but rather a part of it. Its about a 1/4 turn to get it out. I replaced mine last year, as there's a small circuit board type part inside to vary resistance, mine had snapped. The replacement from fiat was around 30GBP, and easy to re-assemble but you must put some light oil on the rubber seal otherwise its impossible to turn.

sound, is it a main dealer part only? someone said in one of the other threads i read that there is 2 different types, so i will have to take it out and check which one i have got as he said if it was the wrong one you get it wont fit.
