摘要： A fuel sender assembly comprises an electric fuel pump held in a mounting plate which is, in turn, mounted in a fuel tank, such as an automotive fuel tank. The mounting plate includes a chamber wall that defines a pump chamber having an inboard end and an outboard end. The electric fuel pump is received in the pump chamber such that an inlet end, which includes a fuel inlet, is disposed within the fuel tank adjacent the inboard end of the pump chamber. The outlet end of the fuel pump includes the electrical terminals and is disposed adjacent the outboard end of the pump chamber so that the electrical terminals are accessible outside the fuel pump for connection to an external power source. A hermetic seal is formed between the fuel pump and the chamber wall to prevent vapors from escaping through the pump chamber. The fuel sender assembly permits electrical connections to be made to the fuel pump without requiring wires within the fuel tank.
