Abstract: A fuel sealing assembly seals a fuel sender unit to a fuel tank. The fuel sealing assembly includes a retainer having a locking finger and a plurality of retaining lugs, and cover plate having a detent and a plurality of slots. Each of the plurality of slots receives one of the plurality of retaining lugs. The cover plate is rotated relative to the retainer so that the retaining lugs abut the to circumferential surface of the cover plate. The detent then receives the locking finger to lock the cover plate to the retainer. As a result. Both axial and rotational movement of the fuel sender unit is prevented.
