Fuel Tank - Loose Fitting

I was feeling around inside the fuel tank - like you usually do when you have 10 minutes to kill - and on the drivers side there is a long what feels like plastic oval tube canted at around 30 degrees and going from top to bottom.

Now I think this is the fuel level sensor [but not sure, just assuming] and is all OK, but it is loose and can move around a bit, could even move enough to clunk the side of the tank??? Is this normal or has it broken away from the tank.

Fuel gauge works fine btw.

Yep there is a plastic float for the fuel sender, but if it is working OK it is connected OK

It should not contact the side of the tank though, just check that the float/pump mount is aligned properly (ie 2 outlets facing the front of the car) and it should not hit anything

Thanks and will to. How is it connected? Slip in like the pump? Top seems attached, but base not, I reckon I can get 50mm of side ways movement out of it drivers to passenger side.

Also need to drive it around first, got a full tank atm.

That's totally normal.
