VENTILATE! NO SPARKS!!!

Fuel Vapor (Gas Gas ;-) is EXTREMELY EXPLOSIVE!

More than ONE person has been badly burned/ injured by fuel vapor explosion when spark from electrical tool ignited vapor in enclosed area.

If there is NO gas in RIGHT tank, then the issue may NOT be the Right Fuel Level sensor, but rather the "Jet Pump". If there is measurable fuel in Right Tank, but Right Sensor reads "0", then there MAY be a wiring issue.

AFAIK, unless you have N51 SULEV, BOTH Sensors are replaceable. ALSO, the plumbing in the tank may have been dislodged by someone (in a hurry ;-) working there BEFORE. When you post back, please provide Last-7 Characters of VIN so we can provide ISTA Procedure for whatever you need.
