What is this called so I can get it repaired?

Agree,
experience has taught that if it can go pop then off with it, ive lost count of the fuel tanks that had hose issues etc and yes there is a slight smell but its been ok , we see these burnt out on hard shoulders etc often enough, anyhow yes remove gas tank and petrol stuff , for the time it takes well worth it, plus you can service it and stuff hidden by it
