Default Issue Dropping the Fuel Tank

So im guessing this is part of the fuel return or something. Does anyone know the Ford Part # for this blue cap piece?

Everything else was pretty easy to disconnect but i accidentally bent the line a little too much and this just broke right off. Very annoying. Checked my haynes manual and cannot find a name or part number for this piece, but i really need to get it ordered so i can go to work monday lol! Also talked to an advanced auto rep on chat and they dont carry it. We were definitely talking about the same piece b/c he sent me an ebay pic confirming this blue threaded cap.. but he didnt know the name.

Hopefully my local ford dealer would have it.

It is one of either the Fuel Vapour Control valve or Fuel Vapour Vent valve--I think the latter. Both are components of the EVAP system...

Sweet deal thanks for that. Unfortunately it was like $85. I was able to get the old vent check valve out without breaking the tubing which was good so i could reuse it. Also went ahead and replaced the fuel pump and filler neck grommet. No more Service Engine Soon light ( Evap system code ) or leaky gas tank when full! yay safety

Just for reference heres the Ford diagram (crappy quality but you can see the part numbers) . They do not keep all of these parts in stock .
