Claim:
A fuel delivery module assembly for a vehicle, the fuel delivery module assembly comprising a fuel delivery module for supplying fuel from a fuel tank, a flange for attachment to a fuel tank and an emissions canister for controlling evaporative emissions, the fuel delivery module comprising at least a reservoir for retaining fuel and a fuel pump for supplying fuel from the reservoir, the emissions canister being coupled to the fuel delivery module in a sliding relationship and being 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 the slide axis, the flange being attached to a proximal component, the proximal component being one of the fuel delivery module and the emissions canister, the other being a distal component.
