What's the name of that thingy?

I found a fuel leak today but I don't know the name of the component that's leaking. It looks like a pressure sensor or pressure switch, has one wire hooked to it, and it's mounted on the driver's side of the FPR.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Fuel is leaking straight through this sensor and dripping out where the wire connects to it. Thanks.

It's the vacuum switch that tells you when the fuel filter is plugged. Last one I bought was about $55 at the stealership. No one else seemed to have a clue what it was.

Thanks Tow-
I tried to find it a couple of places online but like you said, no none has a clue. At least i know what to ask for now. BTW is it available at IH, or do I have to go to Ford?
