Zusammenfassung: | A fuel delivery module assembly 12 for a vehicle which includes a fuel delivery module for supplying fuel from a fuel tank, a flange 16 for attachment to a fuel tank 42 and an emissions canister 4 for controlling evaporative emissions. The fuel delivery module includes a reservoir 18 for retaining fuel and a fuel pump for supplying fuel from the reservoir. The emissions canister is coupled to the fuel delivery module in a sliding relationship and is arranged such that the emissions canister can be displaced along a slide axis relative to the fuel delivery module between an installed position, in which the reservoir and emissions canister overlap parallel with the slide axis, and an installation position, in which the reservoir and emissions canister substantially do not overlap parallel with slide axis. Either reservoir or canister may be proximal to the flange with the other being distal. The assembly is installed by inserting the distal component through an aperture 44 of the tank 42, displacing the component laterally away from the aperture's axis 46, and inserting the proximal component to bring the flange 16 into contact with the tank 42. The invention also provides a fuel tank assembly comprising such a fuel delivery module assembly and to a method of positioning such a fuel delivery module assembly within a fuel tank. |
