My fuel shutoff solonoid moves about 1/8" side to side, I had read somewhere it can be tightened, but when trying to tighten mine it will not turn using normal hand tools, I am thinking rust, or?, can I use PB blaster on it?

Any advice welcome!

Big One,

The play is just slop in the housing and doesn't need adjusting unless it is drooling fuel. Then it needs replacing.
If you really want too, you can remove the solenoid, put it in a vice and using a hammer and punch tighten up the tabs on the bottom of the housing...
I wouldn't sweat it though.
