The bracket/shelf thing is a baffle that runs the length of the tank, to prevent fuel from sloshing around. It is spot-welded in place, and has probably broken loose. (Mine had done so.)
When the loose baffle moves around, it can then break the standpipe and filter screen off of the sediment bowl, where they extend into the tank. (Mine had done that, too.)
I don't think the baffle is that critical, but I've heard of people cutting open the fuel tank to either remove the baffle, or re-attach it, and then re-welding the tank.
I just replaced the entire tank.
Do a search in the Ferguson archives on this site for lots of information on the tank and baffle.
