Now that you mention it, the gas filler tube on our 2002 was an issue, sometimes bumping against the black hold down bracket used for shipping the PT. I used a long Zip Tie and secured the tube to the bracket using the hole in the bracket and wrapping the Zip Tie around the tube.
Another issue we had with the 2002 is the right (Passenger side) end of the rear sway bar coming loose from normal use. The bolt at the end of the bar that attaches it to the link would come loose just from the boby moving up and down. The factory calls for the bolt to be torqued to 40 or 45 foot pounds but would still come loose. I tightened it to 50 foot pounds over a year ago and no problems. Note, when this would come loose, I didn't get a knock or thump but usually a squeak.
