description In an automotive vehicle, fuel is supplied to an internal combustion engine from a fuel tank by a fuel sender assembly. The fuel sender assembly includes an electric fuel pump. It is common practice to locate the fuel pump within the fuel tank. Electrical connections to the fuel pump are made through a mounting plate that seals an opening in the body of the fuel tank. Wires connect terminals on the fuel pump to terminals on the inner surface of the mounting plate, which in turn are connected by external wires to the electrical system of the vehicle. A fuel sender assembly comprises an in-tank electrical connection to an electric fuel pump that is formed between a socket member and a plug element, in which the plug element includes a terminal that is received in a receptacle in the socket member. The socket element comprises a socket wall that extends about the socket face. The plug element also includes a plug wall that sealingly engages the socket wall to prevent the electrical contact from exposure to fuel vapors within the tank.
