What is this part called?

I have a great running 86 XJS Coupe V12. This part screws into fuel rail? And has two rubber hoses attached. Tip is broken and it runs fine with silicone adhesive, but I want to order a new one. What is it called?

It senses the fuel temperature. At xxx-temperature the switch opens, venting vacuum to the fuel pressure regulator, thus increasing fuel pessure.

Google "Jaguar EAC5086"

Ok....the plastic connection that the two hoses plug into...are they part of the switch or a separate piece. This is the part I have silicone rubber on for repair. I can't find it pictured anywhere to purchase.
