Fuel Tank Sensor / Valve

I'm in the process of changing the gas tank in my '00 super cab..

I have the tank out & was ready to swap the sender & vents....

After wiggling this little black thing (after I removed the wiring pigtail) around and trying to work it out of the hole (after I turned it ccw), the top broke off.

What is this thing called? Is it a purge valve of some sort? Need to figure it out so I can put everything back together.

I know this is not the best pic but describe what you are talking about by location on the tank.

it is what was in the hole that you already took out- the hole directly behind the filler neck&vent. (the hole to the right of the far left blueish vent).

Good deal, just hope the junk yards don't catch on.

They already did. If I would have been able to get it from the pick'n'pull, it would have been $5.

The guy behind the counter said, "oh, it is $90 from the dealer..... <pause> our price is $40."
