Abstract
Apparatus and methods to couple fuel components to a fuel tank are described. An example method includes coupling a carrier to a guide suspended in a cavity of a fuel tank, where the guide extends in a longitudinal direction between a first end of the guide adjacent a first side wall of the fuel tank and a second end of the guide adjacent a second side wall of the fuel tank opposite the first side wall, and moving the carrier along the guide between the first end of the guide and the second end of the guide.
