Question One more time CEL/Gas tank etc

My light is driving me crazy and it is (I am convinced and can prove it) due to whatever the black "thingy" is inside the tank that I can see when it is being filled up. Sometimes it is out and sometimres it is pushed in. My light was off for awhile, went back on yesterday and I filled up today and noticed it sticking OUT I had pushed it in awhile ago and then the light went out a few days later.

What is this thingy and can someone tell me (maybe look at yours) if it is supposed to be an inny or an outy?

Thanks

PS I also added fuel cleaner as someone suggested,first time has almost 68,000 miles

The little flap at the top of the filler neck? I don't think that would cause the CEL; a loose cap, though, will.
