Is there a way to check the sensor?
How about removing completely the bleeding valve and just joining two pipes that are attached to the valve

I could not manually bypass anything. I don't remember why. YMMV
Try using another magnet and put it in or around the neck and listen for the other magnet click.
If I recall the reason for that magnet is to seal off the tank and when activated the magnet gives the air in the tank an escape route during filling. Otherwise the tank would spill fuel in a hard turn. The tank is under pressure because the fuel filler neck is closer to parallel with the ground and would let fuel come back out if it wasn't pressurized. This is why the tank makes a sucking sound when opening the fuel cap sometimes.
I was chasing a whistling sound that was caused by a vacuum leak and managed to dislodge the magnet during that inspection. The magnet is just laying between the plastic piece and the filler neck. When you remove the plastic piece or just moving it around the magnet is small enough to fall out. It really has nothing forcing it to be there when it's removed. It just happens to be captive when everything is put together. I can not recall the exact size of the magnet but I think it was a rectangle and about 3/4th to 1 inch. Roughly around 1.5 to 2.5 centimeters.
It could just be a bad vacuum line somewhere not allowing the tank to vent.
