Patent ID: 8113796

Claim:
A fuel delivery module comprising a substantially fuel tight housing having a fuel inlet and at least one fuel outlet, a fuel pump located in a first chamber defined within the housing, said fuel pump comprising an electric motor and a positive displacement pump assembly drivingly connected to the motor for pumping fuel from the fuel inlet to said fuel outlet, at least a substantial part of said housing being formed from a plastic material, wherein one or more electrical conductors for supplying electrical energy to the electric motor exit through a wall region of the housing surrounding or adjacent a lower pressure region of the first chamber to be connectable to an electrical connector, characterized in that the electrical conductors are connectable to the electric motor within a high pressure region of the first chamber, said one or more electrical conductors being arranged to extend within a wall region of the housing from a high pressure region of the first chamber to said low pressure region before exiting the housing from said low pressure region, whereby any leakage of fuel around the one or more electrical conductors from the high pressure region will drain into the low pressure region of the first chamber, avoiding fuel leakage to the exterior of the housing.
