Fuel leak from...what's it called??
 

A few months ago I began smelling gasoline from both inside and outside my car that I narrowed down the source to the vicinity of the gas tank. I thought maybe a fuel pump seal was leaking, so I stopped filling my tank full, filling halfway instead. The leak persisted.

Today, while servicing my car I decided to pull the rear seat to check the fuel pump for a leak. I confirmed the unit on the passenger side is cracked on top and has a small leak when the pump is running so my strategy of only half filling tank is pointless.

So I get on fcpeuro to price the part but what is it?? I see something called a fuel level sensor (right) for one price and something called a fuel filter for $90 more. I know there's a fuel filter in this part that's leaking because I replaced it a couple of years ago (the filter element only). There is no electrical connector visible from outside of the gas tank but there is a fuel line attached to it. The unit on the driver side has the electrical connector so these 2 units must be connected inside the tank.

There are some pictures on the website but they all look like what is in my car. It could be a fuel level sensor, a fuel tank sending unit or a fuel filter according to pictures or descriptions. Do any of you know what it is?

The fuel filter is inside the level sensor. They are both part of the same unit (on the passenger side).

fuel feed this will show all the parts from that side exploded and described.

Thanks for that response and that link! It's perfectly clear now.
