Abstract
A fuel sender assembly comprises an in-tank electrical connection to an electric fuel pump that is formed between a socket member and a plug element, in which the plug element includes a terminal that is received in a receptacle in the socket member. The socket element comprises a socket wall that extends about the socket face. The plug element also includes a plug wall that sealingly engages the socket wall to prevent the electrical contact from exposure to fuel vapors within the tank.
