So I pulled up the carpet and access port and found a bit of very old liquid around the sealing ring both inside and out of the housing. I cleaned it with paper towels and then found the sealing ring itself wasn't tight. Wasn't overly loose but it did spin about a 1/3 turn. Everything else looked fine on both sides. No cracks, nothing out of the ordinary. The passenger side was dusty dry. Hoping this solves any issues!

Check codes. Loose seal on tank should trigger one.
Clear whatever computer might have in memory and check if stalling still happens.

There is a thread somewhere over here that one can submit for reimbursement. Does that apply to repairs occurring after 15 years have passed?
