  • Publication number: 20100143107
    Abstract: In one exemplary implementation, an assembly may include two indexed parts. A first part may have a void formed therein and an axis, with the void defining at least one rotational stop and at least one radial stop. A second part may have a projection that is received at least partially in the void when the first and second parts are assembled together. The projection may have at least one rotational abutment surface adapted to engage said at least one rotational stop to limit relative rotation between the first and second parts, and the projection having at least one radial abutment surface adapted to engage said at least one radial stop to limit relative radial movement between the first and second parts in a direction away from the axis.

  • Patent number: 7341046
    Abstract: A fuel delivery assembly including a fuel pump module having a mounting flange and a reservoir housing carried by the mounting flange, and an emissions canister pivotally mounted to the reservoir housing of the fuel pump module, wherein the emissions canister is pivoted relative to the reservoir housing when the assembly is inserted through an access opening of a fuel tank and assembled thereto. Preferably, the assembly is positioned within the fuel tank so that respective bearing surfaces of the fuel pump module and emissions canister are in substantially the same plane against the bottom of the fuel tank, and a longitudinal axis of the emissions canister is approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the fuel pump module.
