If the thing is loose, I'd remove it and either fix the threads or plug the hole, as fuel leaks that close to the header is serious business!

I agree. Where do all the hoses go to and from the gas tank? Obviously, my setup is pretty screwed up. I checked out the techinal info book and see the fuel tank drawing with a hose from the sending unit to the fuel pump. My car doesn't have a place to attach a hose to the sending unit. Instead, they made a hole and stuck a mickey mouse fitting with a tube into the tank which goes to the fuel pump. Not stock, there shouldn't be a hole there. It works but the fitting doesn't screw tightly into the hole. I'd like to fix this because of the obvious danger. Does anyone have a clear drawing or diagram showing the entire fuel tank, cannister assemby and hoses? Also, is there an alternative to the sending unit available?
