Question I found a loose bolt on my VE

Well after a night of complete reorganization so that I could put my baby in the garage (woohoo ) I find a loose end on my injection pump . After I pulled the old girl in and I'm just looking things over and I find this bolt (at least I think thats what it is) on my VE loose. Its got a little 1/16th-1/8th of an inch tube on the end of it and its right underneath the AFC banjo bolt. What is this for? I hope it didn't do any damage internally. I tightened it as best as I could with my fingers since I couldn't get a wrench on it.

Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Yup, what Underpsi said. Heck thats nothing, my pump was leaking fuel after I got it back from getting checked out. Couldn't find it, sprayed it down with brake clean and fired it up. It was leaking from the bolt in the middle of the 6 fuel lines. Tightened that baby up, that'll help the mileage a bit.
