Where is my fuel tank pressure sensor??

hey all!!
i can’t find anything to tell me the location of my fuel tank pressure sensor. I have a 2006 r500. We checked the trunk area, the rear passenger wheel compartment, we pulled up the center seats only to find the two openings for access are insanely epoxy’d shut. We spent about 2 hours trying to peel back the epoxy. We were able to crack the circle open only it doesn’t appear to house the sensor. We’ve decided to take a break and post here and see if anyone here can help us. Thanks in advance!!

Drawing is no good

The drawing shows the part identified as number 20, however it does not show its placement on the vehicle.

Thank you

That photo give a much better view of the position. Do you know if the tank must be removed in order to swap or is there an easier way to access it from under the chassis?
