1. An electrical connector for providing, when connected to a complementary electrical connector, an electrical connection within a fuel system; the electrical connector comprising:
first and second electrical connector pins; and
an overmould for the first and second electrical connector pins;
wherein each of the first and second electrical connector pins includes an external portion which projects from the overmould, an internal portion received within the overmould, and a chamfered portion located within the external potion to form a transition between the external portion and the internal portion;
wherein, for each of the first and second electrical connector pins, the internal portion thereof includes at least two axially spaced projections which extend radially relative to the axis of the electrical connector pin, adjacent ones of the axially spaced projections being separated axially, along the length of the electrical connector pin, by a region of the internal portion defining a recess, the region having a reduced dimension in a plane perpendicular to the length of the electrical connector pin, compared to a region of the electrical connector pin within the overmould between the chamfered portion and immediately adjacent to an end one of the projections.
